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?
