Hot swapping printer connecting questions

He is trying to create a parrellel connection using PC-Anywhere or something similar..... for what reason, I'm not sure, but its likely this is his intention. There is no danger in disconnecting/reconnecting parrellel cables while the computers are powered up. I wouldn't worry about it. rob.
