Is there a distance limitation between the PC's and the print splitter?

Yes, the distance is limited by USB cables distances around 20 feet and they don't come cheap, If you need distance use Cat 5e cables up to 300 ft. but you will need to purchase a print server, IOGEAR they also sell wireless print servers. Hard wire is always better. Are you on a network? networking your printers is a good way to go and others can print also. The IOGAER device pictured here is an inexpensive close Proximity device. two computers to one printer.

I honestly couldn't tell you, but what I can tell you is that it did not work for me the way it was advertised to work. It was useless

I don't know the answer to that. I used the cords supplied and both PCs are within 5'. Sorry I'm no help.

I really do not know. I did not try, but I guess you could check with printers in your area to see if they would do it. Sorry I could not help

Not unless both the printer and the computer are devices in a local network.

I have camera's as far as 150' away. I used couplers when I relocated main unit in office.

Not as far as I can tell. We have several of these printers for industrial and accounting use, some run on a parallel cable and port others use a serial connection and card (which is quite pricey) I see no other connections. These appear to be old "workhorse" type impact printers that print on multipart forms.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

Recently I successfully networked this printer from a Dell Inspiron and an iMac. So far, we have had no issues with printing from multiple computers.

I do not think that this printer has the limitation that it only works with a windows xp lowest settings

Actually, I wouldn't use it with anything more than one computer and immediate peripherals. I use it with a single desktop computer, monitor and large format inkjet printer. Because the printer (HP 1050c plotter) is only on standby the majority of the time it really doesn't draw much power and doesn't actually use much even when printing. That avoids potential headaches should the power fail during printing. Otherwise the larger the UPS relative to your system the more operating time you will have during a power outage. :o)

I don't think it matters. I use mine in my small office (7 computers, 2 printers). One computer acts as a server in my local area network; they all "talk" to one another with no problems.

I dont think that will work. It will serve you better to just connect the printer to one computer and setup a network for printer so that multiple computers on your network can print from it.

There are splitters available, it depends. What outputs do you need specifically?

I wish I could help you. I'm only using the splitter to show the same image on 2 computer screens at the same time. No sound is being used. Joe

It is my thought that this printer will not copy on both sides at the same time. I do not require that application for my own use. Would be best to check more expensive printer for that option.

Sorry - not sure i understand the question but in any case this printer may not do it. Try the manufacturer.

You have to have a VGA out to run to the display splitter. This device splits and extends the VGA signal you already have coming out. You can set your VGA out to duplicate on to the output in your pc settings.
