I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but IF you just want to be able to "switch" among several printers,  you can plug them into a $20 USB 2 (or $40 USB 3) (outside-powered) HUB and they will come up in your "printers" list and you can choose which you wish to use.   

If you are trying to use a single printer among several computers, then here are a few (most just say USB port, but these say USB2)

TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND 802.11b/g/n Wireless N Gigabit Router up to 300Mbps with USB 2.0 port 

BYTECC BT-UP01 USB Net Share Station

LTS LTD2316 16 x BNC H.264 Pentaplex DVR with VGA Output         USB 2 x 2

Good luck,
AnnaSummers

Subject: Routers w/ USB


Hi Mark,

You poster "There are many routers now, that allow you to plug in a USB drive and 
be used as a network device, exactly like you would use a network printer."

I have been looking for a router with a USB 2 input but do not seem to be able to find one. I did find a Linksys printer switch, PSUS4 with 4 ethernet ports and a USB port but it is a USB 1.1. My fear is it will be too slow for printing. The unit came out in 2006.

Know of any quality routers or printer switches with a couple of ethernet ports and a USB 2 or 3 port?

Thanks,

Tom
