Does the switch automatically detect the print job when using one PC to 3 printers?

QVS Technical Support - FAQs
No it does not automatically detect when you have a 1-3 or 1-4 mode. You need to manually set the port or use the software to switch the port. I can't print to my HP 890c. I tried changing the port to ECP and it sometimes prints, but is inconsistent. Also I can't seem to switch it via software. I can only manually switch with the buttons. Add a 9V 500MA power adapter, make sure the port is EPP/ECP, the cables should be IEEE compliant, and download the most recent driver.

I am hearing noises when I plug my AC/USB Boostaroo into my PC. Is my unit defective?

Frequently Asked Boostaroo Questions
The answer is no, your AC/USB Boostaroo isn't defective. What you are hearing is the transient noise that your PC produces naturally through oscillation of your power supply and the hard drive whine caused by its mechanical spin. These noises are much more common in older PC's, but a lot of newer PC's have noise filters built into the PC's USB ports, which eliminates these noises. If this problem is occurring, we recommend using the AC power supply for your Boostaroo instead of the USB cable.
