Add same printer twice times on same PC with different config

[Sami_Spinx]

Hello,

Is it possible to add an HP 404 network printer twice on a workstation: Once with the A4 configuration on tray 2 and the other with the A5 configuration on tray 1?

Please tell me the steps to do this.
Do I need a specific firmware or driver to do this?

Thank you inadvance for help 🙂

You can install the drive 2 or more times, just give a different name

for example:

To avoid using colored ink for documents that are mostly text you can re-install your printer using a different name. Likewise you can force landscape for all prints the same way. After installation you set the properties for what you want.
