Does anyone know how to connect multiple printers to a iMac? I have a digital photography buisness I'm trying to get off the ground and this would help out a lot if I could print to 2 or 3 printers from the same iMac.

Thanks.

This should not be any more of a problem than it would be for any other mac. If they are USB printers just hook them up to a USB hub, configure the software and print. If they are ethernet printers, connect to an ethernet hub, configure the software and print. At the present time I have four printers hooked up to a beige G3: an ethernet Laserwriter IIg, an imagewriter LQ and an old Deskwriter 660c both on appletalk via an Asante Print, and a Lexmark X83 via USB.
