Simple Printer Sharing Without a Network
IOGEAR's 4-Port USB 2.0 Printer Switch Kit allows up to four (4) USB-A or (3) USB-A and (1) USB-C PCs or Macs to share one printer. No more plugging and unplugging between computers or fussing with wireless printer connections.
Automatic Printing
Connect any mix of PCs or Macs and share a printer between each. Set up your automatic printing between each computer through your printer’s included software. Simply submit a print job and the printer will automatically print from that computer.
Manual Printing
Use the push-button switching option to manually select the computer to print from. Switch-lock prevents other users from switching devices while you print a large file or confidential information to ensure exclusive data access.
* Automatic switch function is software-based and is only available with a USB printer or the printer function of a multi-function printer.
