Install multiple instances of the same printer

Found on another forum:

You need to go through the control panel, printers and faxes, right-click and add a printer. Then follow the various instructions... and that's it

But not nothing either, huh!

" I would like to install my USB printer several times "

You can't. What's the point?!?

" with different print settings for each installation "

Oh okay... I see why you want to do it. But it doesn't work like that.

A printer is not a program, it's a device. You can't install it "multiple times" with different settings, like you could with a program.

For each print, you need to select the print settings if they are different from the default ones.
With some print management software, it is possible to select pre-recorded 'settings profiles'.

Good evening Erwan,
and thank you, but I don't fully agree with you. With my previous printer (on XP and via parallel port), I installed it 4 times. Each time with a different setting: normal black, draft black, normal colors, and draft colors...
So I would like to be able to do the same with the new one via USB.
