You can download the user manual here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Brother/HL2040/5076

The printer uses a standard USB cable. You can get them at any Walmart, Staples, Office Depot, or Radio Shack or at this link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010010001%20117752943&Tpk=usb%20cable

The manual is not clear about the cable type. Typlically you need a USB-A to USB-B. To make sure check the images at this link and compare to the back of the printer. The connection to the PC will be USB-A.
