Hi There

I have 2 printers running on one computer, running off a manual switch box 1x Inkjet & 1x Impact when changing from the impact to inkjet i just get the odd garbled letters then nothing, i have to re-boot comp to get the inkjet to work properly, have no conflicts and switch box works when going from inkjet to inpact any ideas as to why? the injet is the default, would an auto switch box stop this error, or should i get a second printer port, which i have heard are difficult to configure so any help would appreciated.

Regards Paul
