usb printer sharing switch
2010
Can I "daisy chain" USB devices off a KVM switch?
I just bought a small KVM switch for my home office that lets me use one USB keyboard, USB mouse, and SVGA monitor between my personal desktop PC and my company's laptop. It works great. The KVM switch specifies which USB port to put the mouse into and which one to put the keyboard into. Which surprises me. I wouldn't have thought it made a difference, but the switch does provide feedback to the computers so they don't go bananas when suddenly all their peripherals disappear. So maybe it does, somehow, make a difference.
My ultimate question is this - if I plugged a USB hub into, say, the mouse's USB port on the KVM switch, and then plugged both the mouse AND my USB printer into the hub... would it work? Would it share the printer between the two?
I doubt it (as you say, the KVM switch is expecting a KB: & Mouse, not a Printer 
)
But you can install the printer on one PC and enable 'Printer Sharing' (start - settings - printers & faxes - right click the printer & select 'sharing') on that PC.
Then on the other computers, launch 'Add Printer' wizard & check the 'install a network printer or a printer attached to another computer ...'
