Choose your own facile answer: a) None, printers have *sockets*; b) RJ-45; or c) The only thing I'd connect to an inkjet printer is a steel-toecapped boot. I much prefer regular USB A/B connectors, as the "micro" form is rather mechanically weak and seems to break easily. The USB 3 variant is particularly awful. I have yet to handle any USB C kit, which seems OK on paper, but only time will tell how good it is in practice.
