Hello all, I'm trying to find a split printer cable.

I want printer cable ---> double usb so I can have my PC always connect to my printer, but then just put my MAC laptop on the desk and plug in the printer without swopping the cables round etc.

I have spend a couple of hours drawing a picture of what I need

:

Anyone know where I can get one from?

Woa, that picture is doing something to me. I just cant make out what direction that upper connector has. Is it pointing towards to viewer or into the background?

I'm not so sure it works like that. Why not just set your printer up on the network through your pc and then print from your mac that way?

Because its going to be at my place of work, where we have free internet access and i dont want the printer to be shared on the free internet hot-spot.

Well you can secure it of course.

You could try a USB hub and 3 cables.

You could use a usb switch. They're pretty cheap.

Will I think you can use the Cocofax service to resolve your issue and get know how to send a fax from my computer which link is here for users. It can solve your issue within less time. They give you an amazing service and you feel comfortable with them.
