2 serial ports

[Ish]

Hi

Is there anyway to connect 2 serial port printers at the same time to a pc with only 1 serial port?

Thanks.

Serial switch box, USB to serial converter, PCI expansion card with serial ports.

I suspect the USB to serial converter will probably be the easiest and cheapest to get hold of these days, certainly if you want to use both printers at once.

I take it the printers are for something mildly funky?
I haven't seen a serial printer in ages as parallel ports took over from serial for most printers years (decades?) ago

It's a barcode label printer but I think I was given wrong info as after looking at the specs as well as the serial port it has usb port as well

ah
that would explain it having a serial port then
