Al, <I purchased and installed an ABCD switcher today and couldn't remember where I heard the suggestion, your reply rings a bell. I believe it was your posting about a week ago.> Could be! 🙂 <So far I haven't had the courage to switch from A to D with the power on even though logically I would think there is a complete break in the circuit and the printer and/or the Parnet cable "thinks" it is being switched on/off in the normal fashion.> For what it's worth, I did live (with computer on) switching between my modem and drawing tablet for years with an A/B switch with absolutely no problems (first on an A1000, later on the A2000). But I understand your reluctance. <In any case, the switcher is a huge improvement over exchanging plugs in and out of the parallel port and I thank you for your suggestion.> You're very welcome!
