Does a USB cable affect the speed of a printer? -

I have a Canon Pixma 7600 Printer ($399.99) and it takes a really long time to process anything that its going to print. Do I need a new USB cable?

Cable doesn t effect the speed unless you are printing huge size documents. I believe main factor is ram, cpu etc.

The cable might be broken some where. It is possible. But as for the speed of printing no. What appears to be the problem from what you have discribed it a driver or installation issue. Check that you have properly installed the software according to the manual. You can also try defragmenting your hardrive to speed up the performance of your machine. You RAM and Processor are just fine for this type of printer.

The cable has no bearing on the speed of the printer. If it was broken, it wouldn t work at all. The size of the document also has no bearing on the speed. The data is loaded into the printer memory and from there the printer will print as fast as it is designed to.
