Running multiple printers at the same time?

[Mike Hawthorne]

Ink Jet printers are cheap but slow.

I have some jobs that I do that require running large numbers of menus on my Epson C80 printer. I use the C 80 because the copy is waterproof.

I make enough on one job to buy several printers, so my question is...

Is there a way that I can hook up multiple USB printers to one computer and instruct them to all print the same job at the same time?

For example, 4 printers, each printing 100 copies in one hundred minutes instead of one printer printing 400 copies in four hundred minutes.

i'm sure as long as you installed them all and they are all recognized seperately (i am guessing they are usb connected or lan) then you can just select which printer to print with each time you say print. (you would prolly want to name them liek #1, #2 etc. so you don't make a mistake and gvie the job twice to a single printer. I am just speculating but it think you should be able to...


when i first clicked to come to this topic i thought you were gonna ask how to split up the job across the printers like have one 100 page doc and have 4 printers then have them automatically do 25 pages... 1 would do the first 25, the second would do the second 25 in the 100 page doc and etc. I don't think that would possible.. atleast to have it automatically divide it up. You could tell it manually which numbers to do though.
