USB To Eathernet Connection

[Rickey J]

I have a Roland SP-300 and I was wondering if there was a way to turn the USB Connection In to a Eathernet Connection? The reason I am asking is the printer is some distance from the computer.

not really ... we found a 25' USB Cable that works. If you use one that long though you need to plug it into a powered hub so that it will have enough power to send the signal

But, it sounds like you really need a Print Server.

we used to have one of those but it responded with subpar results. The job would sit in the "On Hold" status saying that the Plotter was not ready to cut. As soon as we swapped it out, worked flawlessly. It might have been something else on our computers but its a big gamble for 100 bucks

I use a set of USB to Cat5e and then back to USB and run my graphtex with no problems. Mine is another room.
