Digital BW, The Print

It is a matter of distance, 15/20m is not possible with any USB or IEEE cable. Get to your computer supplier to find out about wireless but I doubt you'll be able to send 100Mo through it, 
Last solution and the only one, buy an ethernet card to place at the back of your printer  (Hum....you might get shocked by the price) and use RJ45 connection.


  Subject: [Digital BW] Printer in next room - how?


  Hello, in the future I would like to get a larger printer than my
  current Stylus 2100 - maybe a Stylus 4000, maybe even a 7600. In
  either case, I wouldn't want to have this huge machine standing in my
  living room where my computer is, but in my sleeping room where I have
  some empty space...

  Now my question is how to connect this printer to my PC: To connect it
  directly via cable is quite far ( cable would have to be at least
  15-20m, it's on the other end of the flat) and I would have to lay out
  a cable through my whole appartment - How about wireless? Would I have
  to have a whole PC or would a small hardware receiving unit be enough?
  I am not experienced at all with this stuff...

  Could it be done with a notebook - (I have a IBM thinkpad - how many
  MB of RAM would be recommended just to make the notebook print the
  files - no editing of course).

  Thanks for your input,

  Bernhard
