First of all, determine the extent of oxidation on the aluminum surface. If it is determined that the surface is in relatively good shape, i.e. light oxidation, then skip this step and move on to polishing with Flitz.
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.
Oct 7, 2008. What is simplest solution for connecting 2 PCs to one printer where wireless isn't an option? Wondering about max length of USB printer cables, if ran around perimeter of room and if an A/B switch is definitely necessary? Have and HP 5100 series printer - wired w/ A/B USB cable to desktop - sits beside printer. A wireless upgrade kit is avail, but fairly expensive & read lots of users have problems.
