Sorry to disagree but...
...even USB 1.1 is 12 Mbps which is faster than ethernet 10.
With low-end printers the bottleneck is always in the printer (processor and
memory) and the printing engine (pages per minute).
Let´s not scare Dean more than necessary... ;)

Dean,
As I recall
I can get on board with the fear factor ... keep looking out for me
guys, no matter which side of the issue you're coming from
believe me, I appreciate all the info.

Are there drivers that need to be installed?
The iMac G5 has 3 USB ports, run the two printers directly and put the hub
in the one left. Then plug your other USB devices to the hub (like the
keyboard.
A MIDI interface can be connected to the USB connector in the keyboard.
Hope it helps...

while the hub was in use, I can't remember. I'll look into that. I
did connect my new laser to the USB port in the keyboard, which I
had forgotten about, and it seems happy there, so maybe I'm ok ...
but I would still like
Yeah, that might do the trick ...

Dean,
As I recall the USB ports in your keyboard are both first generation
usb 1.1 ports.
USB 2 ports are lots and lots faster...
So I guess that plugging your laserjet into the keyboard will
slowdown the entire printing process
as soon as you have complex or bigger print tasks...
H more food for thought. Many thanks.

Hi Dean,
A USB 2 (!) hub would certainly do it.
I do not know whether you have an airport extreme basestation.
In that case you could even share your laser printer with multiple
macs of pc
using the USB port of the airport without loosing onze of your mac
ports...

I have two printers and a bunch of other stuff running off a hub. Works

I don't know that there is a good reason not to use a USB hub; but my
failure to imagine such a good reason does not mean that such a reason
may not exist
Nope. Hubs are essential when using USB or Firewire devices..
