Canon Selphy printer with Olympus mju 760.

[Canew]

My friend just bought a Olympus mju 760. During his purchase, he also added a Canon Selphy printer to his list. Back at home, he realised that the USB connector of the Olympus does not fit the cable provided by Canon. I checked it out and realised that the connections are indeed different. I don't know the exact name of the types of connectors, but are there any CS-ers out there that can share with me how to overcome this connection problem?

TIA.

Your friend have to use the USB cable that is provided by olympus to plug into the USB port in Selphy.

Hi,

Not to worry. The Olympus camera is able to support direct printing. Just use the USB cable (from the camera) and connect into the usb port of the printer(of Canon printer).

Once this is done. The camera will display connecting and a print menu would appear to guide you to print photo.

Oh! OK. I've called my friend. Initially he was not sure on which cable I was referring to (I was referring to the Olympus USB cable that jeffreyk and apex have suggested). He then asked me was I talking about the computer cable? I told him that there should be a cable with a connector that can be linked to the computer (I was referring to the USB Series A PLUG). He then understood what I was referring to and subsequently got the Olympus camera connected to the Selphy printer. Whew!

Many thanks to jeffreyk and apex for their pointers.

As I have never owned a Olympus camera, I did not know what are the accessories that came with the camera. I was actually thinking of looking for a converter for the connector to resolve the problem at the first place.
