I have a printer that uses USB as it's input (like most current printers
do). I have more than one computer, and would like to share the printer.
Thus, I need something like an "external USB multi-port auto-sharing
switch". Is there such an "animal" that I could appropriately use to share
my USB printer ?

Please advise.

I did a search, and there is such a product. If anyone has used such a
device to share a printer, let me know your experiences.

Don't understand: Just set up printer sharing on one machine. Same as
internet sharing, etc. etc..

I share my printer with 3 computers and have no "external USB multi-port
auto-sharing switch". Instead I use a LAN router to share all my files,
peripherals and Internet. I can even run applications on my desktop from
my laptop. But if you insist, search for GUB211.
