Tip to tip 56 inches, USB 2.0, brand new.

The other two I tried were 40 inches and 29 inches. These were older and I think also 2.0

The USB 2.0 specification limits the length of a cable between USB 2.0 devices (full-speed or hi-speed) to 5 meters (or about 16 feet and 5 inches).

 

Try using a smaller USB cable.

The 3 cables were 4 feet 8 inches down to 2 feet 5 inches.

How much shorter can I get?

Should we just start over and try WiFi?

--->On the printer control panel, press the Wi-Fi Direct button.

---> When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct light is on steady. 

--->To find the Wi-Fi Direct name and password, press the Information button (i) for 3 secs to print a printer information page.

--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer 

--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP 3700)

--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings 

--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password.

--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1
