yes.. USB has multiple types of connectors..
A-Type (Male and Female)
B-Type (Male)
5 pin Mini-B (male)
4 pin Mini-B
And a newer format the Micro-A and Micro-B connectors starting to be seen more and more now.
edit:
Printers usually have a Male B connector on the printer.. and you need a Male A-Type to plug into most computers.
The mini (and Micro) are usually seen on cameras and phones.
