AUTO SWITCHING USB SWITCH

[iamcanadian128]

I dont want to buy another printer so I've decided to get a USB Switch. But the problem is that I don't want to go back and forth switching it. Is there a Auto Sensing Usb Switch?? Like, I mean, if i wanted to print something, then i dont need to press the button, it will automatically switch to me.

If there is, PLEASE TELL ME

Do you mean something like a USB hub? Of course, you might as well go for a USB 2.0 hub, since it's not that much more expensive, and USB 2.0 is getting more and more popular; it's integrated into a lot of new motherboard models.

This one is not autoswitching, but is only ~$29: http://www.usbswitch.com/

Something like this?

It'd be much cheaper if you shared the printer through windows. The only disadvantage to this is that when the print server is down, you can't print from either computer.
