Would be nice, if it was USB by default and Ethernet/Wifi just a module you attach. For most private users, the IoT part of printers is actually a security hazard. Especially for such a portable device.
Edit: private users
Ethernet by default with an optional WiFi module would be ideal.
i can’t remember the last job i had with non networked printers. that would only work with very small offices.
