I have 2 Laserwriter 4/600 printers that I have hooked up to a QuickSilver via AsanteTalk/ethernet into a hub. When I go into the PrintCenter and select 'Add Printer' for both of them, it never displays two identical printers, just the one. When you print, it basically just goes to one of the two printers randomly. I need to have different paper in each and be able to specify which one it is going to print to. Is there any way to do this??? Please help.

Hi Bearcat,
It's been a while since I've used it... but I seem to remember an Apple printer utility that allows you to change the name of printers... just a hunch that the printers might have the same name, thus confusing print center. You'd have to run the printer utility in classic or 9... btu I think that might work...
let us know how you solve this problem... good luck!
