Hook-up 2 printers, possible ?

I have 2 USB printers, 1 is inkjet, 1 is laser. Whenever I need to print to one, I got to disconnect one and plug the other.
Did a little research on this forum, I found It's possible to hook to an USB hub.

So is it possible to map another printer onto a USB port, for example: \\NAS\lp2 ?

Thank!
But I don't see anything in smb.conf that related to printer map

I'm not very good at Linux smile
I found a file named printcap in \usr\local\LPRng\etc:

lp|USB Printer:\
        :sh:\
        :ml=0:\
        :mx=0:\
        :sd=/mnt/HD_a4/.lpd:\
        :lp=/dev/usblp0:\

I think this is the one, I will do some "Trial and Error" and see...
