Hello all, got an interesting dilema in my network world.
I have a stand alone PC in one office that has to connect to a printer in another room. The printer only can be accessed by an LPT port. The PC has an available LPT port and several USB 2.0 ports. To run any type of cable between the two would require about 50' of cord. Obviously there is no such thing as a 50' LPT cord or USB cord. What would you all say is the simplest option of connecting these two together?
