Terabyte 2 Port USB Switch for Sharing Printe allows you to share a single USB printer between two different computers. This is useful when you have multiple computers in a home or office environment and you want to use a single printer with all of them without constantly unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable. Here’s how it works:

1. Switch Functionality: The USB switch functions as a physical switch that enables you to toggle the connection of the USB printer between two different computers.
2. Number of Ports: In this case, the USB switch has two USB ports, allowing you to connect two computers and one printer.
3. Sharing: When both computers are connected to the switch, you can easily switch the printer connection between the computers using a manual switch button or a keyboard shortcut.
4. Installation: You would connect the printer’s USB cable to the USB switch’s “printer” port. Then, connect each computer’s USB port to the corresponding ports on the USB switch.
5. Switching: To use the printer from a specific computer, you press the switch button or use the keyboard shortcut associated with the switch. This effectively “switches” the printer’s connection from one computer to the other.
6. Compatibility: The USB switch should be compatible with various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and printer types.

This type of USB switch is particularly useful for small offices, home offices, or even homes where multiple users need access to a shared printer. Instead of connecting and disconnecting the printer’s USB cable each time you want to print from a different computer, you can simply toggle the switch.
