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.
Businesses that need to use an older printing device to output documents can hook up legacy printers using the Add a Printer wizard, which automates the installation process. Step 1. Check the sockets on the printer to see which interface the device uses to connect to the computer. Step 2. Connect one end of the USB, parallel port or serial port cable to the printer. Step 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the serial or parallel port or the USB slot. Step 4. Connect the printer to power. If the printer is using USB, Windows automatically detects the device and adds it to the PC. Step 5. Click Start, then Devices and Printers if the printer is using an outdated interface.
