Hi all,
For y'all that work with BOCA printers, has anyone connected two workstations to one BOCA? If so, how (well) did it work?
We're looking to print some membership cards, but currently have only one BOCA that uses the paper quality we want.
Thanks to you both! I've never done a USB share of a BOCA before. Any tips/tricks for making that work?
No idea. We always do ethernet shares. The printers are all set up on our network server and then given a dedicated internal IP (e.g. 10.14.3.25) and connected by ethernet. Then we just add the printer to each station like any normal printer.
This is how all of ours are shared. You share it like any other Windows shared printer, and let it list in the directory. Then when you map it from the other PC, you should be able to find it in the directory. If not, just make sure network discovery is on, and you can find it with a mapping of \\pcname\generic text only (where pcname is the PC that has the Boca physically connected). Every once in awhile, the PCs lose their little minds and you have to re-map, but mostly it just works.
