Answers:
Printers do not come with a USB cable. USB cables are cheap to buy, you just have to find a computer sales shop, and ask them to give you a USB cable for printers.
Generally, printers do not come with USB cables (Sam's Club is an exception). There are a couple reasons for this:

-USB cables are very easy to come by ( I have 3 not being used right now) and are universal. You only need to buy one for all future printers you may buy.
-Retailers do not want the printer manufacturers to include the cables in the box. They want to sell the cable themselves. (Best Buy charges $35 for a USB cable, a $33 profit)

Your printer has to have the USB cable to connect with your printer. You can find a cable online for a few dollars, or if you are in a pinch you can find one at Wal-Mart for around $10.
