Hi Adrian,
There are USB hubs which can be shared from 2 computers, and
you will find some listed here.
http://www.usbmax.com/Category_USB_Sharing.cfm=20
What I can't comment on though is the accessibility factor.
Belkin to something similar, but it relies on pushing a
button to select a PC, which is turn displays an indicator
light.
USB to Parallel converters are also available from a variety
of places on the Internet.
George.
