Hey all, just wondering if this is possible...at this moment, i have a desktop printer for my NEC SuperScript 1400, so i can just drag documents onto it if i want to print, i also have an Epson Stylus 740 for color printing, and i was wondering if i could have BOTH desktop printers on my desktop at once? and if so, how do i go about doing it? I'd like to be able to drag a document to the Epson when i need a color print, and the NEC when i need a laser print, without having to go through the chooser each time....please let me know if this is possible! Thanks! :-)

it's fairly easy, actually. install the drivers for each printer and set them up as desktop printers. when you want to print, just drag the document to the appropriate printer and the selected printer will switch automatically.

I tried setting up a USB desktop printer, but it would not let me, right now i can only have one on the desktop and that is my NEC SuperScript 1400, when i go to "create" the new desktop printer and it asks me "using which driver" the stylus drivers don't show up. Am i doing something wrong? :-)

Epson does not support Desktop printing. Lexmark does!
