No Usb Cable

I'm having problems setting up my MG2520 to my laptop. I downloaded the driver to my computer, but since I don't have a USB cable I wanted to know if there is a way I can set it up without it? When I search for devices on my laptop nothing comes up, so it's not detecting the new printer.

Hello, this printer is not a wireless printer or a network printer, so you would need a USB cable to connect it. If you got a wireless adapter or an Ethernet adapter for it, you could connect it with other methods, but in its default configuration it's just a USB printer.

No there isn't any other way to install the driver/software, that's needed to setup your wifi.

You need a USB cable which you should be able to acquire for $4 at virtually any of your computer & accessories shop.
