I've been searching for a cable and/or adapter solution for what I'm trying to do ...

I currently have this type of cable connected from a Konica bizhub 200 printer/copier to a desktop computer. But I want to also connect it to my laptop (to stop switching the cable between the computers). What's the best/easiest way to do that?

I've looked for 1 Type B Male to 2 Type A Female y-cables (I think I have that right) but haven't found one yet. Does one exist? Where are good online sources for USB cables?

Other solutions?

Thanks!
