## Overview

## Description

IOGEAR's USB 2. 0 Automatic Printer Switch allows two PCs and/or Macs to share one printer or multi-function printer. Simply submit a print job and the printer automatically* switches to the preferred computer. The switch also enables two computers to easily share one external hard drive, scanner, or any USB device. No more plugging and unplugging between computers. * Automatic switch function is software based and only available with USB printer or the printer function of a multi-function printer. For connecting and using other types of USB devices, you can switch by using the push-button on the USB switch or with the included software.

Review: I recently purchased a label printer. It does not work off wifi, so it needs to be hardwired into a computer. The problem was that we have 2 computers that need access to the printer. I initially thought manually switching the cables would be easy, but it ended up being a pain for my wife, who is not tech savvy at all. This device ended up being the perfect solution! When either computer powers up, it automatically switches to that computer. If both computers are on, a simple press of the button switches between the 2 instantly. No drivers were needed, so it could not be easier to hook up and use.

*by U***R on 13 July 2017*

Just purchased this item. Was worried it would not be plug and play based on other reviews. I plugged it into my two printers, it beeped. It worked from both my primary and secondary printer immediately. Absolutely no issues and very straight forward. A worthwhile purchase. Of note, a printer cable is packaged/included with this device.
