“I want to connect two computers to a single printer. Is this what I need”

• I don't think so. You would have to be sure only one computer was printing at a time. And, because today's printers talk to their hosts, there could be problems, e.g., if the printer is used as a scanner both computers woud respond and who nows what happens. I suggest using an A-B switch for your purpose; it is a clean solution.

• No. This is not a network hub. You need to connect the printer to one computer and share it on the network so the other computer can print to it.
