    saigoncali - Welcome to the Board :)

    AFAIK the only way of sharing a printer is via a network - the HP 4250 has built-in network connectivity ....
    I have moved this thread to the Networking forum where you should receive more specific advice.

    It would be a shame not to take advantage of the built-in network design, but can go old school and share via
    USB 2.0 Manual/Auto Share Switchs. Configure from 1-to-1 through 4-to-4 or combination inbetween.
