Two printers on my Mac - Go To Top - 12-10-2006
Using USB hub. Both the printers and I get confused. So I plug'em in separately one at a time to save confusion. Is it doable with a hub? Am I inept?

Please explain, "Confused".
You know you can name your printers.

You know, I had this problem prior to 10.4.8. Now, my G4 Tower has no problem. I have it set so one is the default. Both go through a Kensignton hub. At the print dialog box, just select one and off it goes. It's great to finally be away from plugging and unplugging those things.

I have five printers hooked to my iMac and don't get confused. I just select which printer I want to print to and it just prints.
I guess I don't understand your problem.

Are both the printers the same make and model? That's about the only way to confuse them; otherwise, each has it's own name.
