switch box for printer & 2 laptops

JasperKat

I've a canon all-in-on printer/scanner/fax machine which I need to connect via USB to two laptops - I don't want to connect & share it on one of the laptops because they won't always both be here - I want to use some kind of switch-box to be able to switch between one or the other. I've looked at this Belkin one http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Product_Id=134172 but it DOESN'T support multi-function devices, so has anyone any other ideas or suggestions pls?

thanks in advance,

btw, one laptop runs on vista & the other's w2k.
