Can I use a Y-splitter printer cable? Do they work?

I was looking at this cable and I know it doesn't work because the red connector only carries power and no data.

Is there a Y-splitter printer cable that will work? I don't want to buy a print router because my workload does not require one and if a y-splitter doesn't work will this hub work?

Dont see why the Usb too 2 would not work, they would not sell it otherwise. It would be like having a unpowered usb hub anyway.

Be aware, the red connector is for power only and will NOT transmit data. Of course, description does NOT tell you that. Scammed again

Yeah, I was aware of that from my initial post. I'm looking for a Y-splitter that will carry both data and power. Wonder if they exist.
