Is it possible to use a usb hub to have 2 computers connected to 1 printer at the same time?
If you plug a USB hub into a computer and plug the printer into the usb hub and plug a cable from the usb hub to the other computer would that work? Is it possible to do this somehow? Do you have to buy a specialized peice of equipment?
I know I could try sharing them other the network but one computer gives me the error that the printer has lost connection to the server or it was typed incorrectly when I'm double cliciking on it. The other may have some sort of corrupt firewall that I can't find, maybe has something to do with the VPN software installed but I doubt it. I can't ping that computer or access it through the network.
