I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I have it connected where two computers share one printer. You have to press the button on the switch depending on which computer is using the printer at the time. If you are thinking of having two computers using two printers, then I am not sure if it would work. Maybe the vendor who is selling the switch could answer that for you.

That switch is for 2 different computers linked into 1 printer. For that function it is working out great so far. Just install the simple software that's included and follow their instructions for switching the printer between the computers. Make sure you purchase the correct cables.

Possibly, IF the 2 PCs are physically located close together and you use some sort of a USB sharing switch.[like this one CableWholesale's USB 2.0 AB Switch Box, 2 PC to 1 USB 2.0 Device (Printer, Scanner, etc...) or the IOGEAR GUB211]But you would be toggling between 2 users AND only one user could SCAN at a time.I have a feeling you would occasionally have to go into Device Manager in Windows and do a "Scan for new hardware" if the scanner is not detected after toggling the USB switch.

I dont think that will work. It will serve you better to just connect the printer to one computer and setup a network for printer so that multiple computers on your network can print from it.

No, the printer will NOT. Your computer, assuming the printer is hooked up to one, will do the work.

I have no idea. Most printers have Bluetooth built in now days. That would be cool if it works. The real question is if the dongle can find the second dongle on the printer. This might not be a transmitter only a receiver. I don't think it will work but that would be cool. if printer blutooth, then this in computer would work. but I don't think the printer's computer would be able to install it and use it that way.

Actually, I wouldn't use it with anything more than one computer and immediate peripherals. I use it with a single desktop computer, monitor and large format inkjet printer. Because the printer (HP 1050c plotter) is only on standby the majority of the time it really doesn't draw much power and doesn't actually use much even when printing. That avoids potential headaches should the power fail during printing. Otherwise the larger the UPS relative to your system the more operating time you will have during a power outage. :o)

I have two PCs on a home network, with this print server also on the network. I was able to print from both PCs simultaneously. The print jobs were queued in the order received. The first job was 5 pages while the second was only one page. All 5 pages printed before the single page, just as you would expect.

This device is designed to work with two computers and one printer. When using this device you need to install a driver on both computers. IOGEAR makes USB print servers and that maybe a better way to go for you. You could network the printers and others could use the printers also. Just make sure the product will work with multifunction printers. Good luck.

No, it won't. This adapter is only compatible with computers running on Windows XP (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista, or Windows 7. What you need is a printer server but Belkin doesn't have one.

Yes, you can. You will plug one computer in to PC1 and the other one in to PC2. There is a button on top of the switch that you will have to press to indicate which computer is printing.

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

Yes. I have this printer set up to run my mac, ipad, iphone and pc laptop in my living room wirelessly and then as I need to use my work laptop, I plug in via USB. Works great. This printer is awesome. Fast. Auto duplexes.

It should work with no problems. We did away with all our 4 port switches and condensed to this larger switch.

The devices you use with this device have to be USB. And, you can only use one or the other, not both at the same time. I bought it so that I could have two computers on one desk which could both print from the same printer, not simultaneously, but each computer as it is being used. There is a switch on the device which lets you choose one or the other. Hope this answers your question.

No - not at all. This is a USB + additional power adapter. Do not attempt to use this to connect 2 computers to one printer.

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.
