Printer USB cable length

[ramborums]

Hi,

What is the max length i could use a HP laserjet printer on a USB cable? On the supplied cable it works fine but when i tried with a 5 feet cable, the printer is not even detected. What s the max length workable?

thanks for any inputs.

The length of USB cable to work properly is 5 metres at max.
If you go beyond it,the device will not get detected due to latency issues.
