Thanks to all who responded about a scanner and 2 printers through
an A/B switch box.  To answer one question asked back to me:  yes,
the scanner is a parallel port scanner that is designed to be
"daisy-chained" with a printer.  Also, running Windows 98.  I will
have to check to see if both printers require the same printer port
configuration.
        There were two ideas that I did latch on to, though.  One was to
install a dual parallel port card that will handle each device on
it's own port.  The one I think we will try first though is, a cable
from the computer to the scanner then a cable to the switch box I/O
with the 'A' port going to one printer and the 'B' port going to the
other printer.  Also, may have to look at the port set-up and change
it to EPP.
        Sound OK?  Suggestions.


Thanks for the help from all.
You're great!!
