I'd second that. I gave up with inkjets a few years ago because of the constant need to run clean cycles and wasting loads of ink in the process. Went for a network attached duplex HP colour laser, which works every time after being unused for a while. I use 'photobox' online when I need photo prints - cheap and next-day service.
Have you tried two shorter cables, with a USB hub in the middle? Or there are 'range extender' USB cables where the hub is integrated. I have a 7m cable here - 5m cable with builtin hub, then 2m cable. It works fine (on a USB hard drive).

I take a CD down to the photo processing shop and get real photos made up.
After magicking them with photoshop a bit..;-)

Couldn't agree more with all of that.
I threw my last inkjet out of my study window.
Laser is better for low usage. The cartridge won't be dried out when you come back to it.
