Common law (also known as case law or precedent) is law developed by judges, courts, and similar tribunals, stated in decisions that nominally decide individual cases but that in addition have precedential effect on future cases. common law system is a legal system that gives great precedential weight to common law, so that consistent principles applied to similar facts yield similar outcomes.
I ran into an issue with a printer cable, IEEE1284, that was over 6 feet, and it would not work on an OS/2 operating system. The docs for OS/2 stated that 6 feet was the maximum length the printer cable could be for a parallel port connection.
But bear in mind that USB-enabled printers require specific cables to make the connection, and that not just any USB cable will do. The standard type of printer cable in use with todayâs printers is called an AB cable. On one end of the cable, you have a USB-A plug. This is the familiar flat, rectangular end that fits into your computerâs USB port. The other end of the AB cable contains a USB-B plug, which is smaller and square. This is the end that plugs into the printerâs USB port.
