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...

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

I sold printers (and other tech stuff) 20 years ago and can confirm, they have never come with USB cables, even before they were wireless.

I bought mine with cord only just a few years ago. Staying that way too

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.

Sounds like the real problem here was spending way too much money on a USB cable that you could have gotten for less than a buck from literally any other place.
