I needed a way to run one printer to two computers via cables, and this was exactly what I needed. The buttons on the front are easy to access to switch printer from one computer to the other. It's small and fits easily between my computer CPU's. With this box all you have to do is push a button when you want to switch the printer to the other computer, you don't have to get up and manually switch cables. This kit came with the splitter box and two medium duty cables to go from the box to the computers, but you will still need one more cable to go from the printer to the box. This works with both my new dell with windows 10 and also my old sony with windows XP. I had read the reviews and this box had the best reviews even over the supposed auto switch boxes.

This switch is very handy and lets you use a printer on two computers without using s WIFI connection which is vulnerable to someone getting your information. I believe this is much more secure and easy to set up and use. Works just great.

My printer is older so I often have driver problems with the wireless aspect of it. I got tired of being frustrated for hours, trying to get my wireless system to print so, I bought this 2 port hub and connected the wires to the hub, my computers and to the printer. Now all I have to do is push in the corresponding button (for the computer that I am printing from) and I'm printing. The 2 port printer hub works great and no longer sending the signals into a wireless system that can be easily hacked. I should have done this a few years ago. Thanks.

Excellent product and very compact. Metal case about 4"x2"x1" high. I bought this to switch a single hard drive between 2 computers so I could direct photos on the drive to two dedicated computer printers. For me, that has not worked well. When I switch live the drive goes into startup mode and I've lost files when I switch back -- so I am using it to switch a large format printer between two computers.

This product makes it so easy to share a printer between 2 computers. As it comes with the necessary cables to connect everything, it is as simple as plug and play. Awesome!
