This long cable serves my purpose of connecting a printer remotely. However, it creates some current resistance (I assume this is normal for a long cable). You may have a problem connecting to a "weak" USB port. Initially I had a problem: the delivery status of the printer was not displayed, the test page was not printed, basically a bad connection between the printer and the laptop. After connecting an external USB hub, the problem disappeared. It needs a MORE POWERFUL USB port to control it.
