In the old days of the parallel printers there was such a thing as the
A/B switch for 2 or more computers to share a printer.

Is there such a switch for USB printers today?

Please no network solutions just a simple USB A/B switch.

Hello clicker5,
I looked around and found these products, though they offer more than
just an A/B switch:

device with many computers - $26.50

Most of these products are auto-switches, meaning the printer will
process the first print job that comes through it, automatically
queueing the next.  No need for a manually-set switch.

I hope these are the products that suit your needs. You might be able
to find them in your local computer store as well as online.
