Hello, Thank you for your reply. Now my next question: What is better choice to connect my three printers to networking printer server? Should I do this over electronic automatic LPT1/2/3 switch connected to original LPT0 port on printer server? Or I should buy three parport ISA cards and connect each printer to one of
I want to be able to print on these three printers independently and simultaneously if possible.
Any suggestion are gladly appreciated. Thanks, Alex
You can get cheap parport ISA cards for about $5 a pop, make sure they have a wide range of resources that you can jumper on them. (ie. make sure you can change which LP, IRQ and IO it uses though jumpers on the board, and make sure those resources are avaiable in the system you are installing
then hang each one off a seperate lp1/lp port off ythe back of the cpu. You may need an addin parallel port card that will add an adional 2 to bring it up to 3 ports At 11:34 AM 3/27/2000 +0000, Alexander Daniloff wrote: them? them
in, or you will get a massive conflict resource headache). There is switches out there, but most of the ones I have seen have to be 'flipped' by hand, manually, so you could only print to one printer at a time.
