Installing multiple copies of one printer (HP1102W) on the same computer

OK here is the setup, we have an activity that needs, useing multiple computers, to support 2 different locations with the same physical printer, in this case the HP1102w.
Our computers are running Window 7.
We will move the printer between the locations for use on different days of the week and want to avoid reinstalling the print driver each time we change sites.
Each site has its own wireless network with the same basic wireless network setup (ip address etc , open network). Fortunately the same IP subnet 192.168.1.0 but with different SSIDs.
We have setup the printer at both locations but we have to make configuration changes to the setup to support the different SSIDs which is a pain that is subject to errors.
What I am thinking of doing is to install the printer at each location using the smart install. This will create two different instances of the printer on each machine. Is this possible or will they get in each others way?
Can I do this and then just change which printer is the default machine at that site?
Will this work???
If not what alternatives do I have.
Thanks

I think theoretically that will work. You will just have to reconnect the printer to the router each time.

Can multiple PCs access one remote panel at the same time?

I've written a program in labview 7.1 to monitor/control a labview application running in the test cell through Remote Panel. I and my coworker can remotely monitor and/or control this labview application individually. But if my coworker has the remote panel displayed on his PC and I try to get the remote panel on my PC, I get a labview error (63) as below:
"LabVIEW: Serial port receive buffer overflow.
LabVIEW: The network connection was refused by the server."
My question is: Can multiple PCs access one remote panel at the same time?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry I wasn't clear. The remote panel license is separate from the number of LabVIEW development licenses. Pricing information on remote panel licenses can be found here.

Can you have two copies of Encore CS6 running on the same computer?

I'd love to be able to have two copies of Encore on the same computer. While one copy is encoding and burning, I'd love to get another project started and encoding on the same computer and maybe, if possible, even start burning to a separate external burner. But first, I'd love to just be able to have two copies of Encore open on the same computer. I tried copying the Encore CS6 folder to a different drive and then running it but it says there's another Encore in session and this may cause issues with the hardware.

Thanks!

I can't imagine Encore being able to run 2 instances.
Build from Encore to an image (iso), and get ImgBurn. You can run multiple instances of ImgBurn and burn as many DVD/BDs as you have burners (including externals via USB or whatever). Send him a donation; his product is fantastic.

Can two people use the finger print reader on the same computer

I can not get the finger print reader work for me. My wife can use it, but I can not get registered.

Hi,
Based on the following link, you need a different account to be able to register your fingerprint, the rest should be the same:

Can multiple people log into the same PC with the fingerprint reader?
Yes, multiple people can log into the same computer with the fingerprint reader if each has their own user account.

How do I install Reader Version 8 and Version 11 on the same computer?

I have old fillable forms that will not work with the free reader above vesion 8. I also have programs that require the free reader version or above. I am trying to get both the free reader versions 8 and 11 on the same computer. When I installed version 11, version 8 was removed. When I tried to reinstall version 8 the message said I had a more up to date version and the install stopped. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, it worked! What I had to do was after steps 1 & 2
3. move the entire Version 8 folder to a flash drive
4. reinstall Version 11
5. add a new folder called Adobe 8 to the program file directory
6. copy Version 8 folder from flash drive file to new folder
7. add shortcut to desktop.
Now I can open my old forms in Version 8 and edit and save them.
Thanks again.

HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop. I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop. Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

Yes
http://www.imore.com/how-use-multiple-apple-ids-one-computer-and-itunes
However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

HT1206 I just purchased a second ipad, can I have more than one itune account on the same computer? If so how do I set that up?

I just purchased my second ipad and I want to have it under a different apple id. I want to keep it more streamlined for things that I really use and not filled up with a lot of games, pictures and so on. I don't know how to go about setting the itunes account up. So can anyone out there help me with this.
thanks,
kathy

I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
Regards.

Can you use more then one micro photo on the same comput

i have had my micro photo for a year it works great i just bought another one but my computer wont recognize it. what gives?they are the same player zen micro ohoto 8 gigs

It should work fine. Both my Microphoto's work connected on XP Pro at the same time, I just have to keep track of which one has what kind of music. Have you tried scanning for plug and play devices, what kind of operating sys are you running? And what software are you trying to sync with.

Is it possible to have multiple page sizes and print types in the same pdf?

Is it really possible to have a pdf which has multiple pages and each of them have pages which are of different page sizes (e.g. letter, A4, A3) and print types (e.g. Simplex, Duplex)???
Thanks,
Phoenix

you can definately do different page sizes by using different master pages. You can set the paper type for each master page in the object>master page palette.

Can you have more than one iTunes account on the same computer?

My wife just got a nano and wants to set up her itunes library. Since we have different tastes in music, I thought we should have separate libraries under our separate log-ins to our PC so that her music didn't upload to my iPod and vice versa. Is that the right approach or is there a better way?

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

How Can I Update More Than One Ipod on the Same Computer?

I've had my 30G Ipod since April 2006. For Christmas 2006, I bought my sister a 2G Ipod. I cannot figure out how to put songs on her Ipod as we both share the same computer and Itunes Library. I've already asked Ipod Corporate for help via their FAQ section regarding more than one Ipod operating with the same computer, but their advice (which told me to create a playlist small enough for her Ipod and checked as a shared playlist) did not work for me. I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Owning an Ipod but being unable to listen to it, as I'm sure many people would agree, is quite annoying.
