Re: [Digital BW] 2 1280s on one mac?

2002-10-29 by dw_carter

Should be no problem to run several printers at same time or run 
same printer from two computers.  What I did was set the printers up 
on a small network.  My wife and I both have a computer in the same 
room.  That way each one has an address and files can be put in the 
que from either computer.  Or at either printer.  Besides 1280's I 
also have a laser BW on the same network.

Hope this helps, Dave
