Your printer cable is on its way. As soon as I get shipping/tracking info, I'll pass it along.

The longest (standard) USB cable you can use is 5 meters or 16'. Anything longer than that and you lose to much signal strength. I found a place that has a passive amplified USB cable that is 36' in length. This cable requires NO external power source for the amplification.

So you'll have to shave a foot off the distance between your computer and printer, but this will get you printing again.

Cheers!!!
