The cheapest is a simple A-B switchbox which allows selection of either printer. However some printers may force you to reboot to select them. A more sophisticated version of this idea is Port Doubler or Q, both from Momentum. These are port multiplier boxes with software that allows you to configure the box for a variety of devices. I use the Q because it has 4 ports, which allow for future additions. You can get info at www.momentuminc.com.
