Well that answers the question then. It is piggybacked. I have a
connection from the PC to the Scanner then another from the Scanner to the
Printer. That's the only choice I have. I don't have a 2nd Parallel port on
my PC to hook them both up separately. Maybe I'll just reinstall it on my
old Win 95 PC.
Will let you know if I get something figured out. Thanks for your help.
