Connecting two printers to one computer.

[Telinar]

I have two printers and one file server and I was thinking of setting up a print server on the file server, but the file server only has one printer port. Anyone have any solutions? Does anyone know of any reason I shouldn't use the same computer for both file serving and printing?

 

[Confused]

I take it both printers are parallel then

You can get automatic printer boxes, probably quite cheap, that can allow you to plug 2 printers into one machine, or 2 machines into 1 printer (before the days that home networking really took off )

Check local computer shop or newegg for them
