How to Connect a Printer to a Computer:
These instructions apply to connecting parallel port printers to PCs. The process for Macintosh serial printers and Mac and PC universal serial bus (USB) printers is very similar.
Instructions:
- Position your printer. If you have a laser printer, allow a few inches of space on all sides for ventilation. Ink-jet printers don't require ventilation
- Buy a bidirectional, IEEE 1284-compliant parallel printer cable
- Shut down the computer, but leave it plugged into the surge suppressor
- Compare the connectors at the opposite ends of the cable
- Attach the 25-pin end of the cable to the parallel, or printer, port on the computer. (The plug will go in only one way.)
- Tighten the hand screws securely
- Connect the other end of the cable into the printer's socket
- Latch the retaining clips (on most printer ports)
- Plug the power cord into the printer and into the surge suppressor
- Turn on the printer
- Install cartridges according to the printer manufacturer's instructions
- Turn on the computer: Install printer driver software according to the manufacturer's instructions
- Add the printer to the list of printers your computer recognizes. On a Macintosh, just select the new printer in the Chooser

03-26-2012- Other Thoughts: It has saved me a lot of time in terms of switching the printer cable from one computer to the other. And has saved me a lot of expense in terms of only needing one printer instead of two. Well worth the price and does not take up hardly any room.

03-23-2012- Other Thoughts: This little box is excellent. I have two computers hooked up to this switch box and it does not matter which one I am working on when I select the print option the box switches to the computer I am on and prints what I have requested.

02-21-2012- Other Thoughts: The small size is especially nice. It is just sitting on a book shelf in back of the computer and all I can see to know it's alive is a little green light.
