...unless you need to run other USB devices at the same time without having to fiddle with plugging and unplugging things constantly. I would go with a powered hub anyway - you're bound to find some other device to connect - a camera or scanner... Belkin is a good brand, and you can find it in most local stores nowadays. But if you plan to only use a printer, then no, you don't need a powered hub. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
