    Office Depot sells printers at very low (or even negative) margin, and then inflates the margins on cables, paper, ink, and warranty. If you want the best deal, get the printer from OD, and everything else you need somewhere else. That $20 USB cable they sell costs them $1 and you can get the same or better online for $2.68.

      Aye this is 100% correct! I used to manage a store in NC. Also none of the tech services are actually done by the associates. We just attach a USB with a program for someone else to fix it remotely.
