I would like to know if it's possible to hook multiple serial printers to one computer. That way I don't have to swap out forms when I need to print a different form

Are we talking about USB-connected printers or printers that connect using a serial port.

In either case, it is, indeed, possible to connect multiple printers to one computer. Each printer has to be plugged into its own serial port if it's a serial printer (those are pretty rare nowadays). USB-based printers can sometimes be plugged into a USB "hub", but I've had trouble with those so I recommend that each one be plugged into a separate computer port.
