Dana I'm a little confused. You are using local printers using Aux on/Aux off. This means that the printer must be directly connected to the terminal/PC right? So I thought it sounded like you wanted to have two printers directly attached to one terminal/PC. If this is *not* what you want to do, then why not just network all your printers? If it *is* what you want, you also have the option of using two serial ports off your terminal/PC. Some terminals have two serial and one parallel port as well. And for PCs you can always add another serial or parallel card to add another port. So can you tell us how many CC printers you have, and can each device that needs to print to one have its own? Or do you have something like 100 terminals wanted to print and only 12 CC printers? Thanks Will Johnson -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
