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.

usb is standard, and i doubt that a printer even if its a shinny new one will need anything other than a bog standard usb cable

why are you bringing firewire into the question? No one ever mentioned firewire.

The connectors I mentioned are all different USB connectors. But, as I also mentioned, 99% of the printers use a Male B connector on the printer with a Male A-Type to plug into the computers.
