Can someone please tell how to connect a HP1050 Printer to a Home Hub 4 using the USB plug on the hub? Just to complicate matters I have one laptop using Windows 7 & another using Windows 8

The USB port is a media server not for printers.

The port is for USB storage devices. You can store and stream media to all connected devices from it.

Not for printer sharing. Although there is a reviw that says it can be used for them. But they didnt actually try it and got a few other facts wrong.

USB port is new to the hub 4. Err i have a hub 3 with a USB port. Port layout is identical to the 4. So i think its just a 3 with added 5ghz for wireless.
