Q: USB SuperDrive doesn't work from hub
When I have my USB SuperDrive plugged into a USB hub, it won't work. It doesn't eject or accept disks.
This is annoying because I have a MacBook Air which only has 2 USB ports. I have several peripherals that I use.
Is there anything I can do to make the SuperDrive work from the hub? It even shows up in the system report I ran.
But it is not communicating with my Mac.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Your issue is addressed in this article:

Item 2 under "First steps" says:
"Plug in the Super Drive directly to the computer's USB port. Don't use a USB hub."
