Yes,you can have them both installed on your printer,just make sure you have 2 or more USB ports.Install the software,then when it comes to printing,select the printer you want to use from the list.

You can have as many printers on your computer as you want. If the world would agree, you could have a mapping to every printer in the world.
I would recommend having the cheaper printer as your default, as you don't accidentally want to print using the expensive ink.

Use an A/B swap which permits the consumer (you) to make your ideas up on which computing gadget the printer is going to recieve options from. you could also community your pcs as reported with assistance from others.

Yes, you can use both. The problem is if they are both parallel attached, most PC's only have one port. You can buy an automatic ($50) or a manual ($10) switch to switch between the two if necessary. If it is any other combo you should be allright.

Yes - you just need two usb ports & change the print option each time you want to change printers. I have done this myself.

Yes you can. When printing you just have to ensure you select the printer you want to use.

of course you can, but if you only have one plug, you can only have one printer plugged in at a time, unless it is USB, with those you can get things that give you more

Sure. They both could be USB connected or one on the LTP port and the other USB or IR or Bluetooth.
