This may be a dumb question but I can't figure it out.
We have a user who has a desktop PC and a laptop. She has 1 printer. It is currently hooked up via USB to the desktop PC.
The laptop is a corporate laptop that connects to the corporate remote network/domain via VPN. the desktop connects to our local network/domain.
Normally I'd just share the printer on the dekstop and then set up the printer on the 2nd pc, but the VPN screws that all up.
Is there a USB splitter or something that I can use to go from printer to splitter and then have separate USB cables that go to each PC?
I can't seem to find a USB splitter, unless its called something else. I don't think a USB hub would work because the hub would be to use multiple USB devices on 1 PC, correct?
