Can I install two of the same model printer on the same network?  I want to have a printer exclusively for business printing and one for home use.

There should not be any issue installing two Envy 4520 printers on a network.  You will probably want to change the names, perhaps "Business Envy 4520" and "Home Envy 4520" for example.  You can do this in Windows 10 by going to the Devices and Printers folder, right clicking on the printer, select the one you want if both are presented, Printer Properties, General, change the name to whatever you want, Apply, OK.  I would also suggest assigning static IP addresses.
