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.
