Connected two printers to one computer and when trying to print an error message says printer is not connected any idea what could be wrong?

Answer

Your computer will choose a default printer if you do not choose one for it. Check that the printer info was installed properly and that you can print a test page using right click, properties on the printer icon of choice. If you can manually print a test page then both printers were installed properly. If one does not print then you know who the culprit is. You will have to maunally choose or change the default printer depending on which one you want to print to.

Answer

Make sure the printer driver is installed on both computers.
