I love Chinese Drop Shipping packaging! They have a paper bag with a tie-string and inside it is your product wrapped in a bit of bubblewrap. Simple, easy, quick, CHEAP!

My serial HP LaserJet connects via a Hawking LAN to Printer device. As for my USB connected Epson color printer, it's connected to one computer and all the other machines can access it through the LAN also.Setting up a LAN is easy since Win2K and sure makes life easy! You'll probably need a LAN hub or switch for more than two computers but they're pretty cheap (and good) these days.I guess I need more experience with USB because a couple devices (scanner) don't wanna play nice at times, especially when they need POWER from the computer USB connection.

Definitely NOT consumer friendly. Every CEO of companies that use such packaging should be made to try opening them...and I thought that CD's/DVD's with those damn seals on 3 sides was a big problem! I'm 70 years old and fear that one of these days I'll not be able to survive in this world of child proof caps, unbudgeable jar lids and packaging that can send one to the hospital.

For example, you won't have much luck using USB switches with USB headphones/mics. The only problem with UZBAH switches is that they don’t play well with sound drivers.

I have a USB 2.0 Canon printer, and it is shared with 2 computers on a USB connection, I do not need a host computer to run, I ordered a Print Server to connect by network cable to the router (BB connection) hook the USB to the server, run the cable to routher, setup the software, and set the printer on IP address and away it prints. install the driver on both computers and set the printer IP on both. works great and uses a wireless connection to the routher to the printer. not for your beginner though, but experienced user could do the setup in less than an hour. as for the print server, it is about the size of large single reese cup bar, ant price was $40 new.
