Digital BW, The Print

Hey guys, I was wondering if any one has had any trouble with hooking up their printers (1280 and a 820 to be exact) to a USB hub instead of right to the box?  I don't have the available USB ports so I could either get a card or a hub, just seeing if anyone has any experiences with this, thanks people.

I use a hub with 4 printers attached --- no problems.......... just make sure that the hub you get is AC powered. You should be ok. I run on Win 2000
with 2 Epson 880's - 1 Epson 1270 - 1 Canon S9000

I'm not using those exact printers; but I have both an Epson 1200 and
an Epson 1160 hooked up, both through hubs, to my Windows box, and
they both work.  I can even drive both at once.  So I'd conclude that
the idea isn't hopeless, anyway.

i am running both my Epson 1280 and Epson 1270 .. and my canon FS2720U
..through a USB hub (on a MAC) ..

.. the hub is a Belkin USB Hub (5 ports) ..

.. never hard any problems -- even scanned and printed at the same time ...

 (haven't tried to print on both printers at the same time)

There is/was some problem with the combination of W2000/Via chipset & 
driver/Epson drivers. I never sorted my problems trying to use a hub, 
so have my printers plugged directly to the mainboard. All drivers 
have since been upgraded, so even with that combination you may have 
no problems now.

I had problems massively with the usb hub in Win ME, but under win 2000 none
at all. I run a 2000P, 1280  & 785 epx all under a single powered USB hub
made  by belkin.

I don't know if you're on a Mac or a PC, but I use a Mac (G4) and have 
two printers connected via a USB hub.  No problems at all!

I have a USB hub for the 1280 cable. Works perfectly.

I'm running a Belkin powered USB Hub off a Belkink 
USB/Firewire Combo card in an 8500 Mac, linked to two 1160s 
and a 1200, ocassioanlly a 7000. Seems to work fine.

WOW, thank you so much for the great info people, boy I didn't expect to
get that many responses.  It seems most people were happy with the Belkin so
that's what I went with, seems to work so far, thank you again, happy
printing!
