    Yeah! Arbitrarily make one of those ends USB-B, then require it for nearly every damn printer in existence and don’t include the cable with the product.

    Yes, I am aware that those are all separate decisions made by different assholes.

      Every part of that is fine except not including the cable with the product. But I don’t think I ever got a new product with a USB-B connector that didn’t come with the cable.

        I sold printers at a big box store for a few years. Do not count on those things having cables in the box.
