Don't expect that to happen, sorry.
Pretty much all Ultimakers run on SD cards (and all models after the UM3 have a built in network connection) we don't spend time on the USB connection. Pretty much all changes to the USB connection handling in the past few years have been made by community contributions. Even if it would get regular updates, printing over USB to multiple printers at the same time is hard. Supporting 10 printers at the same time is even harder. The architecture of Cura isn't realy set up for that. Even if it would; i would still strongy recomend you to not do this. There are too many things that can fail (you are essentially creating a single point of failure for all your prints!)
So your best bet is to start loving services like Octoprint.

This is an unstable way... Ha - just messing with you.
I recommend getting some raspberry pi's (version 3) and putting octoprint on them. They only cost $37 each. How many printers are we talking about? 10? 4? Each raspberry pi will connect to one printer and will be on your network. You can connect to each of them through a web browser (including your phone or an ipad or whatever). You can upload jobs to them (gcode files) through the wonderful octoprint web page or you can use the cura octoprint plugin.
Another way to do this is if you have Ultimaker printers: S3, S5, UM2+Connect. These all have network capability and cura lets you print right to them. Prusa printers also have some kind of factory software I think for controlling multiple at a time. I think they use the same software in their factory as they have hundreds of Prusas making Prusa parts.

: D,
I should of mentioned, its 10 printers, all of them being creality, big plans for expansion too, no networking, no need as ill be in the same building 99% of the time, i have octoprint, i just dont like it, cura is simply the best in my opinion.
I would like to use USB on cure if possible,
Best regards,
Max
