Is his computer on the LAN? Can the computer be connected to over
the LAN? If so why not go that route?<br>

USB by default can't run that far. If you want it hard wired
with USB, you will need to purchase a USB cable with inline
repeaters. They can get very expensive, especially with the
length you are talkng about, by the time you are done, it
might be just as cheap for him to buy his own printer.<br>
Is there a reason he can't also connect onto the printer via
wireless?<br>

the deal is that my brother's computer doesn't have
wireless so I need<br>
to hardwire it to the printer. The cable needs to go
across the room (15<br>
ft)- into a wall mount- out of the house- under the house
(50 ft)- into<br>
the house- out of a wall mount- to his computer (10 ft).
WOW. That is<br>
longer than I thought. that's around 75 feet long in
total. hmmmmm....<br>
I have an empty phone line (cat 3) there already could I
use that?<br>

1 - maybe, depends upon the printer.<br>
<br>
2 - do you mean a computer into the printer, not a
printer? Then it<br>
is possible to make a cat5 cable into a USB cable, but
you have to<br>
change the connectors on the end to be USB - probably
not worth the<br>
effort. If the printer has cat5 (what, RJ45?) jacks
then just<br>
connect it to your network, again assuming the printer
can do both.<br>
(Mine can - probably can do all 3 but I have
wireless turned off<br>
on it so use usb and network)<br>
<br>
I've taken the liberty of adding 1 and 2 below.<br>

Subject: usb cord<br>
<br>
(1) I now run my printer wirelessly. can I also hard
wire a computer<br>
into the<br>
printer? I think so but I want to make sure.<br>
<br>
(2) If you can hard wire a printer (I think you mean
computer, as I<br>
said above)<br>
into the printer as well can cat5 be used to make a
usb cord?<br>
