USB Switches Help With Printers

Tuesday March 15, 2005
I was wandering around Staples the other afternoon, and noticed the Belkin 2x1 USB Peripheral Switch and the 4x1 USB Peripheral Switch, and thought I'd bring them to general attention. These handy items allow a household with more than one computer to easily connect the PCs to a single printer and/or scanner -- you plug the computers in one end, and the printer in the other, and you can now print from either machine. It's one of those neat little technical items you want to remember just in case you ever need one.
