By verifying that cables are really included and stating that.

I'll bet that this is a multiple-hands thing, though. The instructions were 
created by a technical writer in one location, the box was designed by 
marketing 
in another, and the printer was packed by an "outsourced"  worker. The writer 
simply could not know if the cable is included or not, since different 
outsourcing companies have different policies.

The box should include a checkbox that says "cable included" so that the 
consumer would know.
