Hi folks,
I haven't played with USB devices and connections much yet, and have
a question: Is it possible to run a printer off two separate
computers via a USB hub? Or would something get fried if two Macs
(or more, and maybe a PC) all plugged into the same hub?
Mac #1---------> USB hub<----------- Mac #2

printer
I know I can do the shared printer thing, but it seems it would be a
better choice for me to hook both machines in directly.
Or is there yet another way?
I'm dealing with a couple of upgraded beiges and an HP OfficeJet G85.
USB doesn't work that way. The root hub is the hub in the computer and
there
can be only one root hub in a USB chain.

Change your hub from USB to Ethernet and everything should work just
fine.
