Remember to use the links provided for official support for EK-L, Tripp Lite, ATEN, and Manhattan, or use the generic USB Share(V2.0)_Setup.exe for many other common devices. With the right software installed, you'll be able to seamlessly share your printer between two computers with just the click of a button or a simple hotkey.
This compact device acts as a digital traffic cop. It features two input ports (for computers) and one output port (for the USB peripheral). When Computer A sends a print job, the switch automatically directs the connection to Computer A. If Computer B sends a job immediately after, the switch toggles to Computer B.
Now that the printer is recognized by both operating systems, you can introduce the automation layer.
