> they would save a few pennies for not needing to ship a USB cable

Very few printers I've unboxed actually shipped with a USB-cable... They always use USB-B ports which nobody has cables for and seldom include a cable in the packaging, infuriating.

I’m old/crusty enough to remember parallel cables not being shipped with printers.

What do you mean "old enough"? They still don't ship parallel cables with printers. :D
