I got my Hewlett Packard Printer/Scanner/Copier set up and ready with the software installed on my PC. The only step left was grabbing the USB cable and allowing Bond's printer (I say James Bond because the p/s/c has several compartments that fold and conceal along with a LCD screen, it's almost as if Q handed it to me, but again, I need to get out more) to "converse" with my computer.
That's when I noticed there wasn't a USB cable in the box. For a second I wondered if I had taken it out and misplaced it. After exhausting that possibility to my satisfaction, I checked the box to see if it was supposed to be included. That's when I noticed "USB cable" listed under "Optional Accessories."
I'm terribly sorry, but seeing as the USB cable is practically essential (Who is going to buy a printer/scanner/copier just to copy?!?), I was a little astounded at its exclusion. It'd be like purchasing a Xbox, GameCube, or PS2 and not finding any cables (Composite, Component, etc.) in the console box to connect to your TV.
Yes, I know, I should have read the outside of the box to check and see what was included with my printer before purchasing, but that's communist thinking. Blast it, this is America, am I not entitled as a consumer to make assumptions about what a product should include and then brazenly purchase that product fully expecting my assumptions to be verified without checking first?
If the answer is no, then I'm afraid the terrorists have won.
