Of course not. A "printer cable" = USB1 can't handle high bit rates.
That was the fun with the first generation audiophile USB cables. They could handle full speed but failed miserably handling high speed.
Your best bet is to use a certified cable but if it is certified to handle High Speed, you don't need a one handling higher bitrates as your USB DAC won't use it.
