I bought a cheap printer from walmart last year and was absolutely miffed that it didnt come with a cord. No, I am not connecting you to my wifi and installing your software on my computer! Had to buy a printer cord on amazon that ended up costing as much as the printer itself...

    It wasn't just a generic usb type-b? Or was the printer only $3?

    Nope, turns out printers still come with a unique connector type.

    I don't think I've had a printer come with a cord in like 20 years.

    Well to be fair this was literally the first printer I've ever bought, at 31. It advertised on the box that it could connect by wifi or by cord, so I expected it to come with all accessories needed for that.
