Priter server

Post by wiggin »

Like most people posting here I’m really interested in the bubba :)

But there is one thing that I’m missing. I would like to use the bubba as printer server. But we use more than one printer. And since there is only one USB port I guess that it’s only possible to connect one printer at a time? I realise that this isn’t something that’s easily implemented. But it would be nice if more then one USB port were considered for further versions.

Sure you can connect multiple printers. Just put an USB hub in the single port and then connect your printers to that. Theoreticly you should be able to connect up to 16 printers to Bubba. (I run two different printers on mine at home.)

Hi, that sounds good. But more usb-ports wouldn’t be bad anyhow (a cleaner and nicer desk at least). :D
