Yes. It's called an "ab" switch. I just searched the internet and found one example but I'm sure there are plenty available. http://www.national-tech.com/specs/40121a.htm

I have one printer and four computers what gadget can I use to print from four computers to my printer without transferring the connection?

It depends on if you have a net-workable printer or not. If you have a wireless or ethernet equipt printer then you could use an wireless router that usually has 4 ethernet ports. I have my computers (six of them) hooked to an ethernet switch (and a couple connected wireless) which is hooked to a wireless router. My printer is wireless (or ethernet capable) and can be used by all my computers without doing a thing. As long as the computers AND the printer stay on the same network then they can all print. Most of my computers are Macs and I can use the "Location" feature to switch back and forth from my "internet DSL" location back to my "offline local" network. If you only have a USB printer then you could use the printer sharing feature on your computer and then it would work but you would always have to have that one computer on ALL the time. There are also USB servers that use an ethernet cable to connect to the network, you just plug the USB cable from the printer into the server and then it is plugged into the computer, ethernet switch, router, etc.

How you can share usb printer between two PC without using usb hub or switch?

This answer assumes that the two computers are networked some how. This means that they are probably connected to a router or something of the sort. The way to share a usb printer is to install the printer and the drivers on the computer that will be on the most. Once you have installed it, go to control panel, printers, and find your printer. Right click the printer and choose the option for sharing. From here you can choose who will have access, what operating systems to share the drivers for and several other options. The one caveat here is that the computer that the printer is connected to must be on for the other computers to print from it.
