I've got a printer plugged into my usb hub... I power that mac down, I get no printer on the other macs on my network? so can I plug another mac into that usb hub without problems?

You can't plug two different running Macs into the same hub at the same time. You can plug the printer into a USB port on a router such as an Airport Extreme or Time Machine base station with a USB port and use the printer as a shared network printer. Alternatively, whichever Mac is on 24/7 would be the correct Mac to attach the printer, and then enable USB Printer Sharing in the Sharing Preference Pane.
