How to get two identical printers to work on one computer (Panasonic Laser Model: KX-P7100)
Hi,
I bought two Panasonic Laser Printers (http://www.panasonic.com.au/catalogue/details.cfm?pcode=KX%2DP7100&pdiv=MLP&cat=33_6 Model: KX-P7100) intending to use them on the same computer.
I asumed that one could be on a Parallel port and the other on the USB. When I install the second one the comp complains that it is already installed.
If I manually set one printer to the Parallel Port (or vise versa the USB port) spool.exe crashes, no printers are recognised and
How do I get the two printers working on the same computer, either on different ports or both on USB. (Needs to be automatic - can't be using a manual switch)
Thanks,
J
