You cannot use a USB cable on this printer:

"The HP LaserJet 2100 and the 2100 M printers include two interface
ports: an IEEE-1284 parallel and a LocalTalk port.
The HP LaserJet 2100 TN printer also includes an HP JetDirect
600 N print server card that includes a 10Base-T (RJ-45) port."

This is explained in the user manual which can be downloaded from here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/HP/2100tn/34466

You will need to use a standard parallel printer cable but if your PC does not have a printer port this will not work. You can also connect via an Ethernet network.

Adapters are available to convert USB to parallel: https://www.newegg.com/Printer-Parallel-Cables/SubCategory/ID-2822?cm_sp=lvk-_-redirect-_-usb+to+parallel&Tpk=usb+to+parallel

This may be your best option.
