Zusammenfassung:	A method for driving a printer from a primary controller and a secondary controller is provided. The method includes the steps of: monitoring communications from the primary controller and secondary controller; determining printer availability when a printer communication is received from one of the controllers, and: (i) if the printer is available, communicating received printer data to the printer in a printer format; (ii) if the printer is not available, buffering the received printer data and subsequently communicating it to the printer in a printer format after the printer becomes available; and continuing to monitor the communications.
