Digital BW, The Print

There is no problem having two printers hooked into
single Mac ( I have C82 and 2200 - with no problem). 
I beleive the real problem is that you have two of the
same printers - so a switcher box will probably have
to be used - as the computer can't determine which
printer you really want.  But good luck if you can
find another way.
