I have about 60 feet of separation between a HP7410 printer and &nbsp;three PCs. &nbsp;After countless hours trying to get the 7410 to function on a network (wireless or wired Ethernet), I have resorted (for one PC) to using a USB connection.<br />
<br />
I am considering using an A/B/C USB switch to toggle the printer between the three PCs (very little printing demand). &nbsp;Can a USB function over 60 feet? &nbsp;Or should I just buy a printer that will function on a network. &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks!

Can you USB &quot;repeaters&quot; to extend beyond the 3m USB spec?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
