That's the one I installed!!

It's for a scanner so they don't "auto" switch.  It has some software that sits in the tray... if it's green it's yours if it's yellow it's theirs.  They click the icon or something to switch it back to them.  You would just to make sure they asked before switching.

Hmm so you dont think the "auto" one would be bad for a dongle then?

If I recall correctly the "auto" part was when the printer was called it would sense that and switch it over.  In the case of the scanners they are using software that is remote and doesn't work the same way as normal scanners might... so basically they have to manually switch it.
