  • 枫下家园 / 电脑用户 / 求教! 想两个电脑SHARE一个打印机. 该打印机有并口和USB. 我知道有并口SWITCH. 请问有没有USB SWITCH? 或者其他方法? 感谢!
    • can USB hub help?
      • 谢谢! 我找到了. WWW.ALLUSB.COM
        • I'd assume you mean "USB Printer Sharing"? That will need computers to be networked. If you have a network, you don't need USB. I don't think 2 computers can share one USB hub.
          • en....maybe you are right...I might be stupid just now...hoho...Highhand's, can two PCs share one USB bus?!
            • No. Rare motherboards support this feature, but that's another thing.
    • If your two computer are connected. you can coonect printer to on computer, then shared the computer. another computer just add a network printer.
    • If the two computers are networked, it'll be a lot easier. Just hook up the printer to one of them and share it out. If the computers are not networked, you'll have to use a A-B switch. I don't think USB switch will work. HTH
    • Why not connect the 1st PC with USB port, and connect the 2nd PC with Parallel port? I never tried this before, but it's interesting. Check user's manual whether the conflicts will be caused or not.
      • Actually that's a very good solution. We used to hook up an HP 5Si to both ethernet and parallel, I didn't see major problem. Since she only has 2 computers, coordination shouldn't be a problem, if there will be conflict.
        • 非常感谢上面的朋友, 正准备这么做呢. 准备退掉并口的SWITCH, 买个USB接口, 各接各的. 谢谢! 谢谢!
          • 注意:USB线最长为4M
