How Would I....?

[JasonS]

I have a printer already on my computer and I need to add a second printer for dot matrix printing (POs Bills) I know I need a switch box but I want to be able to share the dot matrix with about three others on another floor and I don't want to have to keep flicking the switch. Can I get an autoswitching box and share the printer through the network and let them print downstairs without any problems? Thanks for any tips.<br>

Why don't you install a second printer port (LPT2) and share it across the network.

Another thing you could try is buying a HP Jetdirect Printserver. These are very easy to configure and enable you to put 3 printers into 1 server.
