    Connecting HP all in one printer

    I had asked about connecting my Dad's HP all in one 8600 printer that I inherited, to my computer. The printer no longer has a download for the xp, so I'll use my newer Windows 7 64 bit computer wired. Wish me luck. Are there instructions for connecting all those wires? Thank you.
