[Electronics-talk] Printer

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Tony.
Yes, there are ways to connect 1 printer to 2 computers via USB.  Search 
Amazon for USB A-B switch, or USB splitter.  Read the reviews--some I read 
said it didn't always work well.
It's also possible to create a home network and put the printer on it.  Not 
my specialty, but I hear it's a common solution.
HTH.
Tracy
