The only way that I can think of to have two printers with out physically
changing them is to add an additional parallel port or a switch. I would opt
for the additional Parallel Port becauce you can buy an ISA P/P for under
$15. A switch, while easier to install, will run over $15 and could cause
damage to your system and or printer if it is used while the system is on.
The hardest thing to installing a parallel port is finding open resources.
The easiest way to do this is to run a program that will force and report
your IRQs. You should be able to find this at the www.nospin.com web site.
