Honestly, I prefer this, it seems to save millions of excess cables being sent to landfill ... a good company would allow you to order one free with the printer, or have a coupon in the box to get one for postage.


It's done to offer the office supply shops a bonus by giving them the extra sale of their ridiculously overpriced USB cables.

They make more profit on those than on the printer itself as they're just cheap Chinese $1 cables.

Another scam in this totally broken market.
