The IOGEAR GUB431 is a four-computer USB 2.0 switch that lets users share one USB printer or multifunction printer, making it suitable for homes and offices that need printer access from multiple computers without installing software.
Recommended For
- Home-office users who need to print from several USB-connected computers to one printer without moving the printer cable between them; automatic printer switching is software-based, and the physical button is an alternative.
- Small offices with up to four PCs or Macs that share a USB printer or multifunction printer and do not have a network-printing setup.
- Users who prefer a direct USB connection to a shared printer—for example, a home-office user who finds that connection more dependable or straightforward than their printer’s wireless setup.
- People sharing a USB scanner or another USB peripheral between computers who are comfortable selecting the active computer with the switch button.
