Is there a switch for a USB printer so 2 comps can use it?

[MikeMike]

no network here, just 2 comps w/ 1 printer and no parallel ports how would i allow both computers to access it?

I bet it doesn't, considering the first thing he said in his post was he had no network. There are a few companies making USB switches, Belkin comes to mind as one.

Yes they exist. But often for the same price you can make yourself a network and get the printer sharing for free. For most people, that is a much better option (but not all).

Note: if you go the no network route, often any printer software will fail (no paper warnings, low ink warnings, etc) - so be aware of this posibility.

One of these should do the trick.
