Sharing multiple USB printers though a gateway

[Denis]

I have three USB printers connected to one PC on my network. Is there any
way to get the printers directly connected to the ethernet gatway rather
then the PC. Ie a 4 port USB hub that connects to one ethernet port.

Thanks

Here are some print servers with a USB port:

Here's an Ethernet gateway with a USB printer port:

I'm sorry, but I don't know whether any of them support connecting
more than one USB printer through a USB hub.
