[SOLVED] How to connect my two printers to a Vivo Touch laptop which has no USB ports ?

[notechyhere]

I have no USB ports on this laptop, and I need to hook up both my laser & inkjet printers.
Neither of them accept Bluetooth, but my laser printer accepts Wi-Fi which I have a cable for, but the other end is USB supported only. Does anyone know if there's a printer cable out there that would fix my issue?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated except to get a new printer lol.

This laptop?

According to the specs:

USB Ports

1 x USB-A 2.0, 1 x USB-A 3.2, 1 x USB-C 3.2

Are you saying that there are not enough USB ports? If so then you can use a USB hub to increase the available ports. (Independently powered USB hub recommended.)

Connect printers to another computer with enough USB ports.
Share printers to network and
access printers from your laptop.

But yes - I don't quite believe, your laptop has no USB ports.
Connecting printers to existing USB ports or via USB hub would make more sense.

There is absolutely no USB port anywhere on my laptop. I keep looking thinking maybe I've missed it but no, nothing.

I can't believe it either. I thought all laptops come standard with one but apparently not. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought it.

Yes, sharing to another computer is what I need to do then. Never thought of that. Thanks so much for your help!!

@notechyhere.

Forum rules prohibit self-awarded best answers.

I removed the check from your post and moved it to SkyNetRising as I believe was the actual intention.

Well, I did what you suggested and I'm still getting nowhere. I have an HP Deskjet 1255 Printer and I have been trying to hook it up with this useless laptop Vivo with no USB ports. I have another laptop which recently crashed, and I really never investigated it further as I needed something else to work with asap but, with this much aggravation, I need to investigate my other laptop as everything with it was working wonderful.
