Office Depot. Oh, wait...isn't that a Bain Capital funded company? That

No that was Staples, before the merger.

BTW you are really pushing USB to try to run it out 15'. Better is a
powered extension cable with a repeater.


It's for my wife's new scanner. I have my scanner on a 15' USB cable and
it works just fine. Hers will sit in a cabinet some distance from her
desk and computer. That's where she wants it.


Gee, I love my wireless world.


It's nice to be able to sit in the living room and send a job to the
printer.

Do you have a wireless solution for USB devices. I am still looking
for one.


That's easy

That's fine assuming your scanner is capable of a wireless network
connection. I recently bought one to convert old photos to
electronic storage.
It requires a cable. No wireless.

Yep, or a scanner, or my tablet, or my desktop or my phone, etc., not a
cable in sight except power to the desktop!

Yes, get rid of them and get wireless devices. In reality, get USB
wireless adapters.

I don't see many real advantages of hooking up a flatbed scanner
wirelessly if you are using the device in a home office. You still have
to place the items to be scanned on the flatbed, which means you don't
want the scanner too far away from your computer. Wireless printing is
another matter.

A wireless multifunction printer would work fine for that.

Are you talking yourself out of needing a 15 foot USB cable? ;-)
