I have the same situation, and a Belkin cable that works well. Early
kernel versions delivered with Fedora 14 did not always recognize the
printer after the laptop returned from hibernation, so I needed to do
the unplug-plugin thing. Works fine now.

In my case, I have one cable, don't remember the brand but the printer
did never work via USB in F14, The system recognized it but as "usb://unknown"
and it never printed. Using a PARALLELL TO PARALLELL cable worked fine in many
linux distros tough, even F14.
