 Good product, not perfect July 24, 2010
Jim
I run a home network with four computer, two hardwired, two wireless. One of the hardwired computers is a Vista machine and it does not want to print though the network (I've tried every configuration and work-around available), very irritating! The other three are two WIN7 and one XP2, and work print perfectly. The IOGEAR 2-Port switch would seem to be the solution, not a hands free-just print-like-a-network solution, but close (You must click an icon to switch computers). Until I upgrade the Vista machine to WIN7, this is a good $20 plug and play solution.

I purchased this print server because I needed to print from my Windows XP laptop AND my XP desktop without having the network working (laptop is on VPN most of the time and it is a bother to log on and off). This device was a breeze to install on each machine and the cables provided did the job with no hassle. (I had to get a LPT to USB converter cable as well for my old workhorse HP 722C printer.)
Printing is easy and it has worked perfectly. Just hit the print button on the program APP and the switch automatically routs the job to the printer. Nothing to do on the switch itself.
I would recommend this if you can live without a wireless print server.
 Info to know May 20, 2010

There is a 2 inch software disc hidden in the packaging. So don't throw it away thinking this this item is plug and play, like I did. I was busy and did not get arround to testing it out until a week later. I guess I should have read more than the just the two top reviews.
Happy ending; dumpster diving the night before trash pick up was a worthwhile endeavor.
Note this product comes with two USB A/B cables.

Doesn't work. IOGear techs say it should. I say it doesn't. Not worth
the postage to send back.
Simple, effective, easy-to-install device. May 7, 2010

Plug this into your computers, insert the installation mini-disc in the center of your cd-rom drive, click on "install", follow a couple of multiple-choice prompts, and it's finished. Reboot your computer. Follow the same procedure with your other computer.
If your computer won't run the mini-disk, you can navigate to iogear.com and download the software from the internet instead.
You can easily switch the printer or other device back-and-forth with the desktop icon. It's two clicks and done. We do always get the red light error message on our printer, but the light goes out and printing commences.
