How to set up printers on network without connecting to computer 1

[ksbigfoot]

I have a couple of USB printers.
Is there a way that I can hook these printers up to something (say a hub) and then whatever computer is turned on and hooked up to my network will be able to print to it?

Thanks

A Hub is just that, & would need to be serviced from a functioning PC.

I think what you want is a Print server, and then a hub might also work for multiple printers, something like this:

Howdy rvnguy,
Thanks for the post. Star to you.
I went looking at the link you supplied and I was thinking that since I had two printers, that this one might be better.

Since it has 2 USB ports, I thought I could hook up both my printers to the print server. Then connect this printer server to my hub.

Am I thinking correctly?
Thanks

Yes, that would be better, as I am not sure that with one port that you could then pipe it through a USB Hub. I only linked you to the first one I found & didn't look for all possibilities. Kudo's to you...
