omg... it amazes me how stubborn people are. when you buy a pair of home speakers, does it come with speaker cable? NO. when you buy a tv, does it come with s-video cables, rca cables, cables to connect your cable box? NO. should microwave popcorn specifically say "MICROWAVE NOT INCLUDED" on it? should washing machines come with their own detergent? just because the box doesn't specifically say "NOT INCLUDED" doesn't put the responsibility on the manufacturer. its the consumer's job to read the label to determine what features it has, what it comes with, compatibility, whatever.
A printer cannot be used without a printer cable.
If you buy a car, do you get tires with them?
Do you get a remote control with a TV?
Do you get a power cable if you buy a computer/dishwasher/TV/whatever?
Why do you think that is? Maybe cause it's f*cking useless otherwise?
I do not have a printer at home, nor have I ever had one so far (can always print at work if I need to). If I buy a printer I wouldn't like it if they left out the cable, except if they explicitly mentioned somewhere, so I could buy one. It's like a battery operated device which has a notice <BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED>, if you buy it you know you still need to buy batteries before you can use it.
