Looking for an a/b switch, or printer switch...

I have a client who wants to use one printer on two computers, but can't use a router due to her laptop being on a work domain. The only thing she wants to network for both comps is the printer, so I'm looking for an a/b switch or some kind of an adapter that will let me get her printer working on both comps.

I've been browsing newegg but can't seem to find anything like this, so either I'm not looking for the right thing, or I just can't seem to find it. Are there any devices that let it print without switching? Or are there any modernized a/b switches? The last one I used was 5+ years ago. It's a parallel port printer, not usb, and I'd connect to both comps using either parallel or usb. The laptop runs Win2k, the home comp WinXP.
 
Her company will be buying it, so they want to purchase it from somewhere like newegg, mwave, or comp usa, rather than ebay. But that does at least give me something to look for, thanks.
