Is there a difference between USB 1.1 cable with a USB 2.0 cable?
If so, which perform faster? I just bought a USB2.0 printer and then I found out that I got a USB 1.1 cable. Will this slow the printer down? Any advice is appreciated...

Well the only difference between an USB 2 and USB 1.1 cable is that the 2 cable has to be shielded. But a lot of 1.1 cables also come shielded. But for a printer (which doesn't need to transfer large files) the performance difference should be very small.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:
