Type B USB Hubs

Anyone come across them. There seems to be no reason why they shouldn't be about, but I can't find any.

Actually, there is a reason. A number of hubs can be connected to form hierachical trees, and at a node the traffic "upwards" must be only through one socket, of type B.

Sounds logical. I have a HP photo printer with a type B socket(for some strange reason) so I bought an A to B lead for the computer. Trouble is I'd like to have the HP camera plugged in at the same time to save plugging/unplugging all the time.

One of these will get you going if you're short of USB connectors in your computer.
