How to connect one computer to two printers by USB cables?

Answer

To connect one computer to two printers by USB cables would require the use of a USB Hub. It may be wise to purchase a Hub with 6 or more ports. The Hub will have a port marked 'in', which will have to be connected to your computer. You can then connect the printers to any of the other ports on the Hub, ensuring that the respective printer drivers are installed on your computer. The USB Hub will also allow for the connection of your scanner and digital cameras etc.
