2 lap tops, 3 devices...print server?
My office set up is:
Two laps that each need to access the two printers and a scanner. At times one of the lap tops may be out of office so how best to set up? We have a wifi router for the BB.
I want a box that i plug the 3 devices into (USB 2?) and then that plugs into the router and all the pcs can then get to those devices.
Simple?

Yep, only downside is you need a client per machine and there's no simultaneous access but for printing or scanning you don't need it, disks you can kick people off if you need.
It's not a NAS or print server or usb switch but designed pretty much for your scenario.
