I've connected two "nearly" identical printers and each is identified separately as they will have their own hardware address. Name them yourself just to avoid confusion. The other thing I always do with printers is to give them static addresses rather than dynamic. I label each with that address so that, if I need to get into the settings, I can plug that address into my browser. Good luck.
I have 2 hp 6978 printers and I want to connect them both to my work network. Is this going to be a problem or will it be ok if I give them names to separate them?
