I have a new printer that is supported under USB 2.0 (that came without a cable believe it or not - lol) and a mainboard that has USB 2.0 but only have a 1.1 OR 1.0 cable. 1) will this work and 2) will there be a possibility of data corruption with print jobs down the road. |

I haven't much first hand experience with this but everything I have read on the subject suggests the device will run fine on older cables and will fall back to 1.1 spec. Keep us posted if you find different. |

Trying to standardize usb cable and usb components is still being worked out, but fully compliant original USB cables will work fine at Hi-Speed USB speeds. Bottom line is, try it and if it works it works. |

Works so far. No telling the actual data rate transfer. (Bet it's at 2.0 speed.) Another ploy to sell a $2.50 cable for $30.00 foiled!  BTW for anyone in the market for a good printer, I am usung the Epson Stylus C82 and am quite happy with it's performance! |
