Multiple Printer Definitions

Posted: 12-17-2003, 10:21 PM
In Win98, I was able to define a network printer several
ways (i.e. portrate, portrate with duplex, landscape, and
landscape with duplex). I then selected the printer
based on what kind of output I wanted.

How do I accomplish this in WinXP? As soon as I select a
printer that has already been defined once, the system
tells me that the printer is already defined and prevents
me from creating a second definition.

You should create a new printer for each functionality. The printer name
and share name cannot be the same as the new printer name or share name.
