how long can usb printer cord be
Q: how long can a usb printer cable be? I am trying to connect a HP laserjet 2840 to my iMac with a USB 2.0 cable that is 25ft long. The computer does not recongnize the printer or that it is connected when I plug them both in. The same 25ft cable works fine when connected to my other HP P1006 printer. The HP 2840 works fine when I use a shorter usb cable.
