I think it depends on the device u are having.<br />
you can share a USB port presuming that the USB device has software support enabling the device itself to be shared. <br />
HP provide software for its scanner and printers to be shared on usb.<br />

There is no comparison between a USB share and a serial or parallel share, as the device is handled via independent software.<br />
check your scanner manual for share software.

AFAIK, while you can share a USB device like a printer via the network, there aren't any that you can share over the BUS. There are USB switches that will let you avoid reconnecting everything like <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/5f2a/" rel="ugc">http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/5f2a/</a><br />

usb sharing

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
