It wasn't just a generic usb type-b? Or was the printer only $3?

Nope, turns out printers still come with a unique connector type.

Interesting. I haven't seen a printer without a type-b port since like the 90's or early 00's? And those were pretty consistently the parallel printer ports from what I remember.
