    Need a bit of clarification - are you asking for a hub with no ports? Basically a repeater for USB? I've seen wireless usb hubs where all you really remove is the cable from the computer to the hub, but I've yet to see anything like a wireless usb repeater.

    If you're trying to avoid cabling in the printer and external hdd, I'd consider getting a wireless router that has a usb port to be used as either print server or for storage, then getting a network printer or nas and hooking the other into the network that way. they may exist, but I've yet to see a router that can simultaneously act as a print and storage server (I haven't shopped for one in a while though).
    Simpler might just be to get a wireless usb hub, then hiding it so all the cables are somewhere else.
