Call me stupid, and I know you will ;-), but i'm buying my first digital camera and I thought this would be the place to ask:
I'm getting a pictbridge camera and a pictbridge printer, but not from the same company (kodak and dell...). I know the camera will work with the printer without the computer, but I need a USB cable, right? What kind? anything special, or just like the kind that goes from my printer to my computer?


Your camera will almost definitely come with a cable; typically, there'll be a funny small connector of some sort at one end that plugs into the camera and a standard USB connector at the other.

The USB connector, however, will be the flattened type (type A, I believe), which usually goes into a computer. Your printer might only have a socket for the square USB connectors (type B); if that's the case, you'll need an adapter or some sort of bridge cable to hook the two together.

PictBridge printers will, by definition, have the USB-A connector, probably on the front panel, and marked with the PictBridge symbol.
