can not get printer to work after tidying cables up

I have just tidied up the cables and now the printer will not print from one
of the computers on the server.

pc A is the server that is connected to the hub, this pc is idle
pc B and C are the pc's that are used to work on. and they will not print,

I have changed a cable from the hub to pc C as it was very long and changed
it for a shorter cable that was left over from another pc that once used on
this server.

what I need to know first is would changing this cable from the hub going to
pc C stop the printer from working when it is accessed from pc B.

also do any of the cable have this cross over thing?? if not then that is
ok, then it is just that I have not put one of the cables in the right hub
slot?, but I can not see why this would be why it won't work. or can it

also just to answer one question that might be asked of me, no the cable
that goes from the server pc A to the hub, was not changed. or touched.

thanks for any help.

Could it be a bad network cable?
Change to the old network cable and try it - if it works, get a new shorter
network cable.
