Is it "OK" to hook two computers up to the same printer via a USB cable that's got a split connector on it.
Like this one:

The end that disappears off to the right has a USB connector on it.
I'm just not sure what happens to the power part of the connections.

I don't think that's going to work (but I'm not positive).

But you can do exactly what you want with a USB hub.

printer connected to hub, hub connected to PC1, hub connected to PC2.
