This was just discussed here last week it seems. You've got lots of
choices:

- mechanical switch
- electronic switch
- install a 2nd printer port
- install a print server

Each one has good points and bad points. Which one would you prefer?

You will not be able to network the scanner under OS/2, unless someone
writes a driver. A SCSI scanner and a cheap host adapter is the way to go
for OS/2.
