        Either one, but not both ... <B-)

        If the straight-thru cables are CHEAPER, I'd use them between the
switchbox and the computers (since there is four of them).  If, however,
they cost MORE, then you can use it between the switch box and the
printer, and use regular cables between the box and the computers.

        DO be sure to label the straight-thru cable(s), tho!!
