why dont u use a multi usb2 external box which has 3 to 4 usb2 sockets which
connect to a single usb socket in the computer. from there u can connect any
printer u want to print just by installing the printer software in the pc.
then while printing just select the printer u want to print the documetns.
thats all.
u will get this multi usb connector in ur nearby accesories store.
