I have two printers enrolled in instant ink. Can I "pool" them to share the allotment?

[Jonthemadman]

I have two printers enrolled in my instant ink account. To avoid going over my monthly page allotment, I have to check your website and scrutinize both printers for page usage, allotment, start and end dates of monthly cycle (which is different for the two), etc. and decide which printer to use. Is there a way to combine them into one "pool" that would provide me the page allotment for both, usable by either printer, so I'd know where I stand for my total account vs each printer having a separate allotment? Obviously I'd expect to pay the same price. 

Failing that, how might I minimize my hassle? It would be a small help if I could at least arrange to have both printers on the same monthly cycle, to synchronize the start and end dates for both. Is that possible?

Also, because they are the same model, they have identical names on your site, for instantink, hpsmart, and every other page. It's confusing and tedious to identify them every time. is there a way I can change their names as they appear on, say, instantink? Give them nicknames or something?

Hi Elohi, I see your two replies but I don't see any direct messages in my inbox. Can you not reply in a public response like the ones you just sent? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong inbox; if you could kindly supply a link I'll use it. Thanks.
