1. You can do it with a multiplier dongle; but the power is split with each dongle; so the units may not work correctly. Better off getting a USB hub....
2. No, but you could get an adapter to allow the keyboard to fit in the unique keyboard plug that comes on every PC. Ask a computer shop, most people don't use the free ones that come with their units. They're light green or purple (one is the mouse, I forget which) and round with a weird pin config. Maybe one came with your very own PC or keyboard?
3. there is a device costing around Rs 100.it makes one usb port into 4.
4. There is no way to plug three devices into two ports without using a hub to increase the number of ports. Any cable that you buy that "splits" the port into two is going to be a hub. You may want to check the keyboard. Some USB keyboards will have one or more USB ports build in them (which is really a hub) that you might be able to plug your printer into. You can also look on the printers. Sometimes they will have a USB port build into them for daisy chaining devices (again, it will be a hub).
