Even then the device was available in the same plastic finish from a lot of suppliers, so I guess they just badge whatever comes out of the factories. I don't think there is a lot to choose in these low end hubs. I would say try scrounging one on the list first! > At the other end of the house I could do a > similar job for my wife's work computer, her work printer and a wireless > router for her laptop when she works from bed (she is disabled).

Not sure I follow the question. If the printer has an ethernet port, they typically present as a Unix network printer (along with any specific drivers supplied by the manufacturer), so if you have a driver for the printer normally you are away on Unix like systems. Or do you mean the printers doesn't have an ethernet port?
