You can install the same printer as many times as you like, assigning different profiles of preferences to each one. There’s nothing stopping you from creating more than two printers, too.
Each will print to the same physical printer, but you won’t have to spend time changing your settings back and forth every time you want to print-just select the appropriate printer in the list. You can also right-click a printer and click “Rename” to rename each printer, giving them names that correspond to your saved settings.įor example, you might set one printer device to print in color at high-detail settings and one printer to print in black and white with low detail settings. You can select the printer and click the “Preferences” button or right-click it and select “Printing Preferences” to assign different preferences to each device, and Windows will remember the settings separately. Your new printer device will appear as an option in standard print dialogs. You can click “Print a test page” to test the printer, if you like. You can name it whatever you want, so pick a name that helps you remember which physical printer and printing settings it will use.įinally, choose whether to set up printer sharing or not and click “Next.” Select “Use the driver that is currently installed (recommended)” and click “Next.” This ensures the new printer device is using the same port and printer driver as the original printer device.Įnter a name for the printer and click “Next” to continue. Select the driver your printer is already using, as shown in the printer’s properties window, and click “Next.”
Select “Use an existing port.” In the drop-down box, select the port your printer is using (as shown on the Ports tab in the printer’s properties window) and click “Next.”
