Just a little tip for y’all. If you buy a new printer with no cable, need a charger for your phone, need a USB cable for your phone, need an ethernet cable, it’s best to shop about. A question I get asked a lot is “I went to buy a printer cable the other day at PC World, and it was £13, should it cost that much?”. The straight answer is no. A USB printer cable should be quit cheap. In fact, I recently wanted to buy a new charger for my phone. I went to the Carphone Warehouse and it was £19!
So where should you look? Well, the answer is ebay, it’s quite obvious, but not obvious to all. You can then buy a printer cable for about £3, a charger for about £5, and ethernet cables, they will do made to order for a fraction of the price and more like how much you should be paying for cables. Those prices include delivery and are the top prices really.
If you can wait a day or 2, I’d recommend it this way.
