It says "Hi Speed", which is the official term.

I already said that.  It was part of the selling point of the printer.

I suppose HP would say, "Well, we meant it would work with Hi-Speed ports, not
that it would run at that speed."

That's technically true, but pretty misleading IMHO.

Besides, even if they said USB 2.0, that's still just as misleading, because
I doubt very many people realize the standard has been rewritten to mean
something different from what it used to mean.

Certainly no one in the store knew.  (grumble)
