    usb cable to long?

    i was just wondering if a usb cable connecting the printer/computer is really long(about 15-20 feet), is it possible to recieve error messages during printing if many ducuments -100 or more- are in quay?

    USB's maximum cable length is listed at 5 meters, which is just a little over 15 feet. If you exceed that length, you may get errors when printing, regardless of the number of jobs in your print queue.

    If the number of jobs in your print queue seems to have an effect on whether or not you're getting errors, I'd suspect something other than cable length.
