2 printers going through Accurip? Is it possible?
« on: March 29, 2011, 08:27:06 AM »
I have 2 Epson 1400's I want to run with Accurip. Does anyone know how to set it up? I thought I remember reading about it but I can't find any info on it. Is it possible? J

You can't do that Homer, it will only recognize one printer. If you replaced the printer with another 1400, you would have to go into the setup under the File menu, blah blah blah, I'll forward you the email I got from them just the other day about this, as we're swapping one out for another.

When I read Homers post.

I thought about the old switch boxes..A,B,C...for multible devices.

So that would not work?

Steve if you would send me the email also.

Thanks

What's Accurip say?

Mac you would just use the chooser to select the printer.

Why would the switch box not work.

How would the computer know the difference?

2 alike printers set the same.

I don't understand?

I don't believe a switchbox would work Johnny as a printer is not a "dead-end" device like a phone, or tv where you had a simple wired line is all. 

The printers have to have some basic set up and addressability that the system uses when programs try to print so it knows how to direct the print, etc. 

At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
