Although the printer may have a USB-C port, it lacks the necessary hardware to support USB-C charging protocols. On a more technical level, the manufacturer opted to save a few cents by omitting some basic components (typically just two resistors, which cost virtually nothing) to accommodate different power inputs. Since USB-C doesn't supply power without first negotiating what the device needs, no power is delivered.
What if there was a super-loud finder tag that had a built-in loop for attaching to a keychain, and a battery that can be recharged using USB-C. That sounds great, right?
