Using a Ycable allows you to connect a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2 keyboard simultaneously. Connecting a printer CAUTION: Connecting the printer cable while the computer is on may damage the printer, the computer, or both.

Otherwise, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store. NOTE: If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure your printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable.
