Hello:

Imagine this - one office with two computers (each on a different network). Instead of using two printers in this office, is is possible to print from one network to the printer via Ethernet but at the same time have a USB line running to the PC on the other network? I guess I'm just wondering if printers support multiple connections simultaeously.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Magus

Depends on the printer. Some can, some can't.
