I would to know if anyone would be able to give me some
direction as how in to install 2 printers on 1 PC. I am
currently running WIndows XP, and I have a HP Deskjet
812C installed. I would like to also add a laser
printer. How do I go about installing this? Do I have
to use a splitter or switchbox? Thanks
 
There are many options:
1) Add another parallel port by installing a new card.
2) Getting a switch box with the specific cables. Manual
operation.
3) Getting a splitter that automatically routes to correct
printer.
All three work well. If it comes down to cost and ease I
would choose the splitter.
If you plan to network in the future you can connect each
printer to each computer and then share them or you can
attach a printserver to the network. They have 3 and 5
printer printservers.
