This is usually a store promo. For instance Sam's Club sold a i550S
promotional package (as well as some others) which *they* included a
usb cable. The printer and all other contents is the same.

I remember people talking about that printer. I guess it's also how importer
(or reseller) agrees with producer or similar. Or maybe importer adds the
cable just before selling.

depends where, i suppose. I boughtt i550 and got cable included, and now
when i bought ip4000 i also got cable included. Also before both Canons i
bought two Lexmarks for veeery low price and cable was always included.
Firewire...do you mean for digital camera? You don't use firewire, but
original camera cable.

The i9900 has both a USB interface and a FireWire interface, you
can use either (or by some reports, use both). Some 'pewters use
firewire instead of USB (Macs probably more often).

That's funny...since most( or all) PC's (except ooold ones) do have USB,
rare ones (usually most expensive ones) have firewire, too.
Maybe MAC's do have it more often.

Yes, I think firewire historically is more common on Macs. It's not that
rare on PC's though (may be called by it's IEEE 1394 name instead
though, "firewire" may be an Apple name). My several year old
Dell laptop has it, as does my "regular" desktop (or at least the
circuitry is on the motherboard, I don't recall if I connected
up a cable assembly to the back or not). It's more commonly
used for hooking up video cameras to one's computer.

My new film scanner that came yesterday also has the choice of
USB2 or firewire connection. But then it came with both USB
and firewire cables (but it also costed a lot more than an i9900
despite it probably costing a good bit less to manufacture,
no razor-blades to sell).
