Networked USB Printer

Is there a device I can buy to allow my USB printer to be shared by a number of PCs without having to attach it to one PC that has to be on to print? Or do I have to get a printer that has ethernet?

If your printer is a multi-function device, not all the extra functions (scanner, card readers etc) may work when connected via a network.

Just bought a Linksys PSUS4-UK £33 Inc VAT and this also includes a 4-port switch. Had my Epson R220 up and running on it in 5 mins, great bit of kit for the money, hasn't failed me once
