How can I print the same document to two different printers concurrently in Windows? -

I don t think you can do that from Word, maybe Excel creating a couple of macros but I think it is just easier to send the job first to one printer and then to the other.

You cannot easily print to 2 seperate printers at the same time, assuming you mean press print, get a copy of each machine. Simply print 1 copy to each printer. Back in the days of the old dot matrix printers that simply quot;receivedquot; data a simple mechanical unit could split the signal 2 ways, but with modern printers that communicate back to thepC, can t be done that way. IF you run a server setup it might be possibly to duplicate jobs in 1 queue to reprint on a 2nd printer, but only if they use same drivers, eg 2 similar laser printers.

You need to install another printer in order to do this. Go to Control Panel gt; Printers gt; Install new printer. The printer will need to be connected to the computer by either a network or USB cable. Add the second printer in your folder and then when pritning in your document gt; select the desired printer.
