We had 2 laptops in the office that needed to share a printer. This did the trick with no effory - just plug and go. Software is not needed and provides no real use so just plug it in and use the hotkeys to switch laptops Product Attributes: Value: from Walmart.com Works, but need to push button to switch between PCs. Wish it would automagically see and process the data stream so you don't have to push the button to switch. from Buy.com Purchased the usb sharing switch last week. I just connected my Imac and Dell computers to my Canon Pixma MX 700. from Amazon.com I have 2 PC's that share a single USB printer. This item works flawlessly in switching between the PC's that need the printer. from Amazon.com One runs Windows XP and the other Vista Home Premium. Setup was a breeze and the printer works perfectly. Switching is automatic so I can even "hide" the switch. So why am I only giving this device one star? from Amazon.com This is a nice little switch. The cost is good. from Amazon.com Works exactly as advertised. I have an iMac and an XP hooked up to the same Epson. It takes the unit a moment to actually switch from one computer to the other but it works like a charm. from Amazon.com I have for like 3 years used a laptop and desktop with 2 kbs and 2 mice. Cluttered desk hasta la vista with IO gear USB switch. Just hook up both pcs to the back and a usb wirelsss mouse kb combo and your golden. from Amazon.com I connected the switch between two computers in different rooms and a single printer. Because I have the switch under a desk, I installed the optional software so we could operate the switch remotely from our keyboards. from Amazon.com Although this product basically works, the lack of two USB cables in the package is just flat out obnoxious. I did happen to have another cable that I got off an old webcam that I no longer use, but I hate it when a product doesn't have everything you need to make it work out of the box. Second, on a mac the device causes a keyboard setup prompt on the computer that you switch away from. Not sure if there is a way to stop this, but it happens on every switch and obscures the monitor on the other computer with the setup window. from Amazon.com
