[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1027150, member: 175144"] Thanks, just the answer I needed to kick off the preliminary cable preparations. What type of cable is under the sheath ? As mentioned there are reasons for doing this way (as opposed to using ethernet, which the printer has), and confirming the distances USB can work at, at varying speeds is the first stage. I have two partially used reels of cable (about 40m on each), one being shielded four core actuator cable, the other is CAT5E. I was going to strip back two existing passive extender cables and solder each one onto the full reels, test for function, then cut back until I get operation on the printer. [/QUOTE]
