I want to connect up to 3 PCs to one Apple Laserwriter -
I was going to do this simply with a 3 way manual data switch box ('T' switch)
however one supplier advised against this saying there was a risk of
generating electrical spikes on switching which might damage the laser printer.
Does anyone use a simple switch like this to share a laser printer between
computers, or have any experience, comments or advice on this topic?
