USB hub to Base Station?

I've tried unsucessfuly to connect a USB hub to the USB port in the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) so I can connect both of my printers to the hub.

Both printers function flawlessly when connected directly to the USB port in the AEBS.

Does anyone know if the USB port in the AEBS will expressly NOT work if a USB hub is connected to it?

Thanks in advance to any replies to this post.

It will not work. That has been documented by Apple, one priner per base station is the rule. I don't have the link, but it may be in some of the other threads here.

no problem. There are other ways to share two printers wirelessly. Quite a few other ways, depending on your network setup and printing needs. Feel free to ask...
