C84 Frenzy - 2 of them on Mac OS X?

2004-06-16 by Dave

I got sucked into the rebate frenzy and ended up buying two of the little C84s! I just 
couldn't help myself, when you can buy a printer for less than the ink cartridges it 
ships with. Life is amazing, and so ironic when you plan to use them with 3rd party 
inks.

 I want to use one for B&W and one for color snapshots. Does anyone know a way to 
get Mac OS X (I'm currently running 10.2.8) to recognize both printers at once and 
keep them straight? I tried hooking them both up, but Apple's Print Center will only 
display one of them. I hooked them directly to the two USB ports on the back of my 
G4 533MHz dual processor. 

I did find a switch that I can use if there is no software solution at:

but it would be much nicer to have them both on line at once, with different names.

Thanks! This is a wonderful group!
