NeXT tells me it ain't possible, but I figure there's *got* to be
a way.....
 
I have a NeXTcube and a NeXT laser printer.  And I want the NeXT
laser printer completely on the other side of the room in my 
office.  To put it there, I need an extension to the cable that
goes between the printer and the 'cube.
 
NeXT tells me any lengthening of the cable would result in
loss of signal or degraded signal.  I say a properly shielded cable
should be able to go another say 15 feet, no?
 
Anyone ever extended the length of their NeXT laser printer's cable?
 
Any ideas/suggestions welcome!
