USB Print Server

[silverbullet555]

I want to add a print server into my network at home since I have 3 printers and I get tired of having to make sure that a specific computer is on. Most of the Print Servers that have USB ports, such as the D-Link DP-300U have one USB port. Can a 4 port USB Hub be attached to the one USB port on the print server. Two of my printers are USB so I need to have them both connected.

No it can not.

USB Hub is designed to have a computer connetion on one side.

So that means I need a print server for each USB printer that I want connected or I need to find a print server with multiple USB ports?

Yap.

I think that D-Link makes a multiple ports USB printer server.

I'll look into that. I know they make a 3 port server. 1 USB port and two parallel ports. One of my printers is parallel which right now has a USB to Parallel cable. The other is only USB. I'll have to take a look and see if the third one can use either.
