Hello! I have a question about networked printers and I hope the way I am asking it makes sense. We have a networked laser printer in our office. We would like to set this printer up to print normally and also as duplex all the time. In other words, there would be 2 printers that show up in the list of printers on a workstation, laser printer and duplex printer, even though it is the same physical printer; the user would choose the one needed (this would be easier than having to go through the process of changing the printer properties each time duplex is needed). The printer has a static network address. How can I set this printer up as the second (duplex) printer? It's probably pretty simple, but I don't want to mess up what's already working. Thanks!
Same printer, 2 names

Just install it a second time and give it a different name during the second install. That's all there is to it.
However, I believe the only way to do what you want is for each computer to go into the printer properties of each of their two installations of the printer, and set one of them up for normal printing and the second installation for duplex printing. You guys can even name the second copy of the printer "Printer XXX Duplex", while the first might be "Printer XXX Normal".
