Solve : One Printer for Multiple Computers??

Answer»

how can i setup One PRINTER for Multiple Computers?no wireless. If not wireless, then by Ethernet.

But if you find wireless annoying, the other solutions bare not always easier.

Be aware that some printers have
1. An Ethernet connection
2. A USB connection

Do not think you can use both. One or the other.

Good news. Thee really are USB switches out there.
No network.
No wireless.
Works with any two PC running Windows and have USB.
Here is just one: (Video)

Is that what you wanted?A USB switch is just what I need but I am wondering if there is a version that is automatic and will take the SIGNAL from EITHER connected computer on a first come, first served basis.Just Google Automatic USB2.0 Switch
and see if it is available in your area.

Or, if you like newegg:

Two ways, assuming all computers are networked VIA a router:

1) Connect the printer to one of the computers and enable printer sharing, which will allow other computers to use the printer. Of course, this method requires the computer to which the printer is connected to be powered on.

2) If the printer is networkable, i.e. network-capable, connect it to your router via Ethernet cable. The method allows any of the computers networked via the router to use the printer without any other computer being powered on.
