Hello apexbeagle, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I see you are looking into running two versions of the same printer. I would like to help.

I would recommend following the steps in this Windows document on Renaming a printer. This should allow you to have both printers installed, and allow you to select the correct printer accordingly.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
