Hi,

You can use a device called "switch" (at least is how we call it in Brasil).
It's a device with two inputs and one output (or vice-versa) that you can
use to connect to printers (or two paralell devices) to one computer or two
computers in one printer. It has a button to switch between the two inputs.
Here in Brasil you can find one of this in almost every computer shop.

PS: There's two kinds of switches: Manual (the most common) and the
Automatic, wich only works in a 2 PCs and one printer configuration.

>I bought a  digital camera. It downloads the images through the parallel
port.Is there some device I could get so I don't have to disconnect my
printer to dowload pictures from the camera?  The computer is a Compaq
Presario 7360.
