Is there an automatic USB switch to allow two computers to share a USB Printer?

This location has two separate networks, one for office work, and the other network is a Point of Sale system.
They would like a computer from each network to share a USB printer.

Is there a smart USB switch that would enable this?

Thanks.

I think the questioner asked about USB because he doesn't want to bridge his (presumably secure, without internet access) POS network to his (presumably insecure, with internet access) general use network. This would seem a reasonable security precaution. Otherwise a network printer would surely solve the issue.
