Default USB Cable too long?

Could it be that automatic USB-switches generally are ****? We had one
delivered together with some lab equipment. One printer was shared
between two PCs with a USB-switch. It worked sometimes, but often did
not, so it really was a pain. Changed to network connectd printer, and
no more problems.


I tried a printer switch once, and didn't like it (it was too long ago
to remember why). Other than that. I've always installed printer on one
computer and used the network. If you don't already have a network, it's
a useful thing to have.
