Re: Millennium Printer Sharing

[Doris Munson <doris.munson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One other option is to use a switch box if the pcs are close together.  The switch
box can be either manual or automatic.  In the past, I used an automatic switch box
to allow six stand-alone machines to use one printer.  I don't know how well this
would work with Millennium.
