Customer Review: Easy to Use Money Saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product for my son after he moved into his college dorm this last fall. Before he arrived at school, his college room mate kindly offered to share his printer with my son, so it didn't make sense to buy a new printer. However, it would have been a difficult process for my son to use his room mate's printer each time he needed to print something: He'd have to unplug his laptop, bring his computer over to his room mate's desk, unplug his room mate's computer from the printer, connect the printer to his own lap top, reconnect his room mate's computer to the printer and finally, reconnect his own computer to the power source. In addition, if my son needed to print something while his room mate was also using his own computer, that would be distracting and annoying for his room mate to have my son interrupt him each time. This switch solved the problem and saved us from unnecessarily buying a new printer!
My son said it is convenient and works great. No plugging and unplugging - just plug in both computers to the switch and it will automatically print from either computer without any software installation. If I remember correctly, you will need to purchase a USB printer cable in addition to this switch if you don't have an extra one handy.
