    Default USB Printer HUB?

    Hi, I want to use two computers and share the same printer.

    Can I get a hub or similar and just plug the two printer into it and from there the hub to the printer?

    Sounds simple, I hope its out there.

    Thanks

    i use a belkin wirless print server allows me to connect to printers that are capable of being on a network to be shared .

    if going down this line make sure the printer is capable of this , most multifunction units are not.

    i have

    1: epson R210 = yes works
    2: samsung ML-1740 = yes works
    3; lexmark X6100 = no will not work

    this is the one im using
