Although price is an a issue -- the cable thing is standard.
No printers come with USB cables -- and BB, Staples, etc all steer you to the $29 USB cables -- when they are $1 from monoprice.
I don't recall ever buying a peripheral of any sort that didn't come with at least one cable.
Not trying to defend either Apple or Belkin -- but you guys must have short memories -- or be like me an have a dozen USB cables just sitting around and never thought twice about it. =)
$99 Epson: USB cable not included --- $500 R2000: USB and Ethernet cables not included
$99 Brother: Telephone Line Cord (no USB)
$99 Canon: Telephone Line Cable (no USB) --- Pixma Pro Line comes with one, they start at $500.
First hit for "USB Cable" at Staples is $20.99 -- OD is $19.99
