I need a longer printer cable. I looked on ebay and thers a brand called Abacus.

So do different brand cables actually affect the way the printer works??

Try not to sell yourself on name brands and gold-plated terminals. Unless you make a living doing prints and pictures, just get a decent cable that's long enough to reach between the computer and the printer.

I look at some of the crappy cables we have at work and they were old when Christ was a corporal. But they work just fine.

why do u want a "printer" cable? u mean the old longass one that some comps dont come with anymore?

my own stupid assumption:
u can have less screwups with less wires, USB has like 4, LPD or w/e i SERIOUSLY forgot has like.. 41?
