Just curious about these new A-B USB printer cables that are not supplied when you buy a new printer. I notice that they are sold in stores for usually around $15-20 (probably something like a 1500% markup considering they are probably made for $1 each)

Anyway, I noticed that they are on sale at the dollar store as well. Should I be worried that the dollar store ones are going to cause a fire and burn my house down or are they a safe alternative to forking out a ridiculous amount of cash for a cable?
