>Ah, Mike. Thanks. I did not have both printers on. I'll try what you say and let you know how it works.< Also Karen, depending on what the second printer is, you may or may not have issues with appletalk being on or off. I tried the same thing with our HP deskjet and HP laser printer but had to abandon the idea because one needs appletalk turned on to work while the other needs it off. <grrrr> Frank
