The unit has been always recognized as an unknown device ("Unknown Device"). First I pushed the mistake to driver issues, but also the latest printers did not work the installation or detection of a device. That was for me the effect surprising, since with previous USB switch - which had unfortunately spent the mind - there were no problems. With direct connection to the PC - whether at the front or back USB ports, nor to the additional USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 interface, it would operate.
After some time, I then read on the web that Canon printers have some difficult with longer USB cables. I have therefore the printer directly, without the 10m USB cable connected and lo and behold - the device is recognized immediately.
The error was therefore found.
I stood now, however, the question of whether the cable described here is a suitable replacement for my previous cable. After all, this cable also features a proud length of 7.5m and could not qualitatively much better than my might.
All concerns arise as unfounded out, because even on closer inspection after unpacking from the Frustration-Free Zipper bag, I noticed the sound and high quality cable. I stuck my printer including new USB cable immediately to the PC and everything worked immediately with no problems!
Thank you for this great merchandise! Strong buy recommendation!
