Sharing a USB Printer between a Mac and a PC
I have my Powermac and my PC sitting right next to each other.
Since I use the same USB printer with both, I have to disconnect the printer from my Mac when using it with my PC and vis versa.
Is there some kind of adapter that would allow both to share the printer, so I don't have to bother unplugging and plugging when switching computers?

you might want to get a AEBS. the usb printer port there can be shared between macs and pc. There's a thread in the apple.com support discussion site that teachs you how to do it. I don't have the address here with me right now. Will post it up if i have time later...
