This shows the older type cable , 

YOU COULD PROBABLY USE A CABLE LIKE THIS TO CONNECT VIA USB FROM YOUR COMPUTER

According to HP site, Windows update will provide a driver for the printer, as they do not have one at HP for windows 8 as at present.

 

Suggestion- Connect the printer but do not switch on the printer, until you are on- the web. Then switch it on , and allow windows update to find the driver for you

Good luck
