Touchdown! Greaser!
I have a desktop connected to a printer at work.
Some days I bring a laptop to work and want to use the desktop computer's printer.
The desktop has no modem
The wire connection between desktop and printer is inaccessible
They both have a USB port
The easiest thing for me would be to plug the laptop into the desktop with a USB-USB cable. But if I do that, will I be able to access the printer through this cable?
OR
Can a printer cable be Y-ed? Ie out of printer to a Y, each leg of the Y goes to a different computer.
