Do You Use Traditional Printer Cable For One Computer And Then The Ethernet Port With A Usb Adapter?
The printer supports one USB cable connection between the printer and one computer.
Specifications > Connectivity
I suppose if the computers are close together you could unplug the USB cable from one printer and plug it into the other computer when needed. Not sure whether the printer software would put up with the constant connect / disconnect.
OR
Try / Consider
The printer supports Wi-Fi Direct, that is, wireless without the need for a router.
The User Guide explains how to set up and use Wi-Fi Direct.
