Hi Rich, As far as a stand alone scanner goes, if you have the drivers / software installed on both computers, all you need to do is plug the scanner into either computer & it will work. I would think the same would apply for a printer. On the other hand, just having the drivers / software installed only allows the device that they are designed for to operate, the software by itself isn't good for anything unless it has a scanner or printer plugged in, to tell what to do. It's like having an engine in a car. The car isn't going anywhere without the engine to move it. In this case the drivers / software is the engine that runs the scanner / printer. If I didn't explain myself worth a damn, would someone please, jump in & bail my a** out?!
Take care.

Would the software still work on the second computer, without the printer?
