Why is the USB cord I purchased for my Lexmark printer SO SHORT? Are there longer cords available? -

As it is now, I have to put the laptop and printer side/side on my desk---thus \i donot have much room. Is there some type of an extension I can purchase?

Radioshack, WalMart, Bestbuy all have USB cords from anywhere from 3 to 50 feet. And the above post is creepy.

Come on, it s not the length of your cord, it s how you use it.
