USB automatic switch box, maybe.
I've never done anything like this. My computers are networked. The main one has to be on and available is the only catch.

You most likely are looking for a hub, they are cheap you can get one like this:

I have one of these for my laptop and it works great.

You could just by a print server. HP makes them pretty cheap, jetdirect boxes. Put it on your network and print by IP. That's what I do at home.

Saw this in the paper (Fry's Electronics aka http://www.outpost.com has it):
I think that's what you want.
