Dell J740 Power Cord

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I need a new power cord for a Dell J740 Inkjet. It is not a standard
cord - the printer end is different than normal. Perhaps this is a
common type of cord in the printer world, but I am not sure. If anyone
is familiar with that particular printer, please let me know.

I might be better off just getting a refurbished Dell printer for $30
rather than spend $15+ on the cord. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help, that sounds about right...I do need the cord and
supply.
