So I'm in college. Every college student needs a printer. I'm in Wal-Mart buying food, and I see a nice HP all in one printer/scanner. It's only $60, awsome deal. It's mine, I bring it home, unwrap it.
I've got the software installed, and then it tells me to plug in the USB cable. So I dive into the packaging. No USB cable... what's going on? I look on the box, don't see anything. I find the "Included" section. I don't see it on there...
I look down into the next catagory. "Optional Accessories". Optional. For some odd reason, a USB cable to connect a printer to a computer is optional! On the entire box, I had to find it under Optional Accessories, in the small print, to figure out that I can't use my printer. I feel scammed.
I called HP, but because it was "on the box" they won't give me a cable, but they will nicely connect me to their HP Sales to purchase one! I'm ready to break something!
