Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Dataswitch: 2 pc + 1 printer

Sorry for the vague response; tired. Look into getting a router or hub, then use the Windows Print Sharing. D-Link is a good brand so look at their website. ( http://www.d-link.com )
A router or a hub is unnecessary. Is the printer usb or parallel? Only data printer switches I know of are parallel. There are auto switches and there are manual switches. Other than that, they are pretty much all the same. Just search for printer switch and you'll find what you need.
jpmkm - Do a little research first, before posting. The 710C is a Parallel Port printer only. They do make USB - A/B manual switch boxes.
You are better off getting something like this. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-127-002&depa=0
This will give you internet sharing, PC to PC transfers, and also a print server. All for $56.00 US.
You could also get this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-315-008&depa=0
But I don't know the company, but it is only $40.00 so you would save $16.00
A manual DB-25 2way A/B switch box, that connects 2 PC's to 1 Printer would be about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars after you get the box, and two cables. You would only get one function not three, and you would only be paying $10.00 to $20.00 dollars less. If you are still insistant here is the first google.com link.

There you have it, a complete answer.
Cheers,
