Im in need of hooking up 3 pc's to a single printer. the easiest, cheapest way would be a switch box. my problem is that one of our computers uses software that runs on 3.1, yes i know. the other 2 run NT 4. would this be a problem?? are switches OS dependant? never needed to install one before. does compusa have one to fit my needs(hint, hint).
thanks this is for work... |
ummm no 3-1 switch at compusa.......
switches are software independent. you just need to the printer driver on each machine https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |
thanks.
hmm, 3-1 are made, though. right. |
i've seen them before but not for a long time
|
They still make em. You need an IEEE printer switch

This is a cool automatic switch for IEEE 1284. It's a 4-1 |
if they all have network cards, get a SMC broadband router...its got a print server which probably has 3.1 drivers....
