Belkin USB Peripheral Switch

Hi All
I presently use one of these switches to operate one printer via two computers - works very well for me.
My question is could I fit a second one for a scanner? If so, do I install two lots of the same software or would this cause problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

    Yes, you will need to install the operating software on each PC that you want to use the scanner from.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
