Digital BW, The Print

I have a printer in the next room (about 8m) wired via USB cable - including a 5m cable, hub and a male/female converter cable. I cannot use wireless (18" stone walls).

If you can do wireless I would give it a try. The problem is likely to be the bandwidth of the connection. My server which runs the print queues has about 10Gb set aside for print queue buffering (one of my other printers is USB 1.1 - slooooow).

Alternatively if you would like to go Ethernet you should be able to get a small box which takes an ip address and simply converts Ethernet to whatever you need.

  Bernie,

  If you have a network, try a USB print server. You can get these wired or
  wireless. I have a C82 on one - it's wired - and it works fine. I can access
  it from any computer on my network.
