Any reason you don't want a network printer, or a router with USB printing compatibility?

That should work. I have not tried one in OS X.

You've tried a regular 15 foot printer cable or a 15 foot extension even, and neither of thiose worked ?
I've found the current capacity of chipsets varies between motherboards.
(specifications be damned)

Would a powered USB hub in the middle of the extension do it?
Good luck.

For most USB applications, a 15 foot ordinary cable will work. Try monoprice.com

A good well insulated USB cable should be fine. I have numerous 25' FW cables that don't need repeaters or hubs FWIW.
