I ASK WHY, WHY YOU DON'T INCLUDE THE USB CABLE WITH THE PRINTERS?

WHY DO YOU SELL A PRODUCT THAT CAN'T BE USED??!!

SO DO I HAVE TO BUY A CABLE USB TOO?

OR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE IT! 

YOU DON'T SELL A COMPLETE PRODUCT!

Well mainly because the printer would cost you about $20 more for a cable you can buy for about $5.  Most are wireless now anyway and don't need a cable.   Folks won't pay the extra for the cable if it was included.

HP DESKJET 2130 IS NOT WIRELESS

AND HOW IS IT THAT HP CAN'T INCLUDE A 5 $ (2 EURO) USB CABLE?

The answer is obvious.

 

HP has no idea where you plan on installing your printer.

 

My old USB printer was 3 meters away from my computer, so I needed a long usb cable.

 

Why should I pay for a 2 meter cable as part of the printer price when I need a 3 meter cable?

 

What if HP only included a 1 meter cable?

 

What if they included a 3 meter cable and I only wanted a 2 meter cable?

 

Why should I pay for a 3 meter cable?

 

Do you get the picture?
