Is there anyone out that is using a USB hub to connect to one USB
Printer from mulitiple computers ?

Like auto self detect hub on each port. Not a switch hub.

I have tried two different ones with no luck .

Could you give me some Make, Models.
?

As far as I know USB doesn't support this mode of operation.  There can
be only one master, ie PC connected to a hub.

What you could do is connect the printer to one computer and then share
it over the network or use a USB printer server that has a USB port on
it.

From what I have read, If you have all the boxes on the same LAN, and the printer
connected by ethernet the boxes should be able to connect to printer using
lpd:// instead of ipp:// .
Am I on the right track ?

I have two boxes setup on that configuration and they are printing fine , wth a 2Wire783 router, but if I replace the router with a Linksys WRT54G the computers cannot commuicate with the printer.

But if I ping the printer at 192.168.1.102 ( that is where it is on the Linksys) I can get a network connection, But I can't print from the two boxes, cups can't
connect to printer.

I called Linksys and they say there is no problem with their router.
