Full Version: Having 2 Printer driver software in a single PC
I got two HP branded printer at home, and I need to use two of them, coz one only got printing function but the other one is 3-in-1 print, scan and copy printer, so I need two different driver software for these printers, so installing two printer software can cause any troubles/conflicts or not??
Having two printer software should cause no conflict. I also has 2 Canon printers at my home computer and no problems detected.
no problem la.....
just remember which one is default and which one isnt lo

No problem. Just that abit inconvenience because you have to select either one for printing. Why not just uninstall the print-only printer and just use that 3-in-1? Easier to do your job (no need to choose which printer to use 
).
But if you don't want to, then it's ok. No conflict between either devices at all.

You meant computer detects which printer is turn on and use that instead of the suggesting both? Yeah that is possible with a little googling I suppose
. Or is it automatically done by Windows? Experiment away

Just get a print server/switch and connect both printer to the switch.
Then you can print to either one of the printer without need to change the printer cable.
No problems. Question answered. Thread closed.
