I'd allocate more points to this question, if it would allow me to use the ones I have in balance!<br />

I have 8 printers which I want to be available on 1 PC, all of the time. Windows 95 supports this many, but I was wondering if anyone knows of an interface adaptor which would allow this (eg an 8 port Parallel Interface adaptor). <br />

All 8 printers may be required to print at the same time, and I am not on a network. <br />

It's too much effort for me to keep changing cables over, and I'm not sure that switch boxes are up to the job.

I have 8 printers which I want to be available on 1 PC, all of the time. Windows 95 supports this many, but I was wondering if anyone knows of an interface adaptor which would allow this (eg an 8 port Parallel Interface adaptor). 

All 8 printers may be required to print at the same time, and I am not on a network. 

It's too much effort for me to keep changing cables over, and I'm not sure that switch boxes are up to the job.

How can I set up 8 different printers to print at same time on 1 PC?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
