Sorry to bump in. But it's easy and even recommendable to set both LPT1 & 
LPT2 at IRQ7. And no problem to have both printers at work at the same time. 
Works like champ here [HP 4V & Epson SQ2550]. I don't use the /IRQ switch.

It somehow possible, though in different Dosboxes. I do have DesignCad-6  Dos 
at work in a Dosbox togheter with an Acedad digitizer and an Acedad 16-button 
puck. Other Dosboxes and OS2-native have a Logitech Mouseman CordlessPro
Both printers are at IRQ 7
Logitech at IRQ 11 (PS2)
Modem at com 3 IRQ 5
Acedad at Com1 IRQ 3
Noiseblaster is at IRQ 10
I'm usint the original Big Blue's comdrivers, not Sio.
    Groeten uit Gent,
    Regards/2
