Automatic switch function is software based and only available with USB printer or the printer function of a multi-function printer. For connecting and using other type of USB devices, it requires installing the included software and perform the switch using the application.

What does it means ???

it seems the HP device that you are looking for is not available for sale in India. There is another similar device from IOGear. I have given its link. it is available in ebay.in and also listed on homeshop18 but there it is out of stock.

no idea about the description text you quoted as i have not used any such thing. i have configured and used shared printers in a LAN only (connected to any network system).
