USB Extension?
I have an all-in-one printer that connects to my computer via usb, however I need to have the printer on the other side of the room for various reasons. What can I buy to have (almost like a network switch type thing) or are there longer cables?

There are long cables that can be found at most office supply stores. You may also want to look into wireless technology.

Goto ebay.com and search for print server. You can use it.

Yeah there's extensions you can get, and I heard they are working on wireless USB hubs that talk over WiFi and are powered locally off of a wall adapter? That was like back in 2009 so it should be coming along.
EDIT: Aha! Keyspan (they made some semi-decent serial adapters) makes a "KEYSPAN US-4A" which is a USB server that talks over WiFi.
Now I want one.. Hmmm..Last edited by joelietz; 09-29-2010 at 01:45 PM. Reason: Found it!

It's like I was born slow or something. Mock me if you will; I finally got internet fax and I've joined this century. If you get a quick reply from me via a fax, it's because I used my smart phone, not because I'm working hard.

there could be. I think your printer could be shared through your local network if you have shared it to other computers which is on the room.
