USB sharing device to get ink levels

I suspect that someone else has tried this, any comments on whether it
will work?


Use a USB sharing device to "expand" a USB port on a printer to two
ports

hook one of them to a print server and the other directly into the
computer.

Make the computer think there are two printers, even though it's the
same printer.

The direct-connect USB will enable the PC to get the ink levels

Other PCs can print to the printer because it's also connected on the
print server.

TIA,

Scott

Click to expand...

Unless I am wrong, there is no such thing, except perhaps manual or semi
automatic A/B switch.
