Printing at the same time with 2 printers

Asked By Isla Jones 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2011

 

I am having problems with the speed of my printer. I will be printing around 300 pages for my thesis report. My printer is an Epson CX4100. Luckily I have 2. But I can’t seem to find a way to connect the 2nd printer using a different port. Any help?

I think both of them have USB cable to connect with PC. Just plug in the second printer in another usb port and you are done. If you don’t have a USB port then buy a usb extension port.

However to select a printer for printing, go to the top menu and click on file. Now from the menu click on print. Here you will see a drop down menu labeled as printer. Here select the printer for which you want to print. This is quite easy to do. However for more clarification see the image.

Good day.

Does your computer have a vacant usb slot for the 2nd printer? if not but a usb extension or a pci usb card (i think it can connect up to 4 more slots) To make it easier, open two of the software you are going to use and alternately set the pages for each printer. ie 1st printer will print the 1st 50 page and the 2nd will print pages 50-100. hope this help.
