Printer

Someone please explain to me why the fuck new printers do not come with usb cables.

Who the hell thought this would be a good idea????

Oh yeah - New Printer Squee

I don't like that it's not black or at least the dark charcoal gray, but I screwed around with everything else there and this is the best one for removing paper jams, easy access to ink cartridges and paper trays, and a sleek enough design that makes it easy to dust. As though I might regularly dust it or something.

They don't come with cables because the manufacturer has no way of knowing how far from your computer you will be needing/wanting to locate the printer. Better to let people buy just the length they need, or so the prevailing wisdom says.

At least that's how it was explained to me.

no offense to you by any means, this is totally directed at the manufacturer

That's the shittiest excuse I've ever heard. Especially when I sometimes can't find them at the vendors.
