Hi all
I bought a printer from Asda today reduced to £15, still sealed in the box. I got it home, and the line cable (to connect the printer to the laptop) is missing. I rang Asda, and their answer was just 'bring it back for a refund cos they havent got any more', which I dont really want to do as it was a decent printer, and an absolute bargain for what it is (printer, scanner and photocopier in one). Do you think it would be worth contacting the manufacturer to see if i can get the lead from them, or are they pretty easy and cheap to pick up?
Any advice welcomed!
