I bought a batch of 70 M406dn printers, but when unboxing them, there was no USB cable in the box. How should I handle this? Do manufacturers no longer include USB cables anymore?

HP no longer includes USB cables for the last several years. It needs to be purchased separately.

Many models do not ship with usb and that appears to be the case with the M406 as per the specification sheet I have linked to below. the Whats in the box does not state USB cable. The only recent ones I have seen with USB cables are the MFP versions of these printers, such as the 4101.
