   What pins have to be switched on the printer port to be able to
switch a printer between to computers?

   I have what looks like this:


  computer A ------------\   /-----------computer B
                        -------
                        | Box |
                        -------
                           |
                       Parallel Printer

  What I want to know is: how many (and what) pins does the box have to switch?
