2 Printers 1 Computer

Does anyone know what I would need to attatch 2 printers to my computer. A switch box of somekind maybe? Any help appreciated, thanks.
 
yeah, belkin has a really nice one, just run over to OD (office depot) and ask them what you want, its rather inexpesive also.

Or get an ISA or PCI add-in card with another parallel port. or a USB->parallel adapter. That's easier in the long run than a switch box, and doesn't cost any more, either.
 
If one or both of your printers supports USB, you could set up one printer to run off the parallel port and one off the USB port. Would cost you nothing.
 
Thanks all. I will go check out both options now I know what to look for. Both printers are parallel port, but this printer config. will be for the system I will be building shortly so with careful planning pci may work out, otherwise I dont mind a switch box. Thanks again.
