[Hidden-tech] USB weirdness...

[B. Melville]

I don't know if this info helps, but a year ago I had a printer that 
wouldn't work on my USB hub. The techies at Epson told me that the 
printer only works if directly connected to the CPU. It will not work 
through a hub. I tried it and it was true. Don't know why.
