    USB Hub to printer?

    Can you plug the normally computer side connection of a USB hub into a printer, and then connect multiple computers to it through the hub interface?

    You could plug the ptinter into a router if the printer is net capible.

    Or, if you have one computer that stays on all the time, connect the printer to that computer and share the printer to the other 3 computers.
