Duplicate copy of a printer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Use the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers and Faxes Folder selecting the
same Port and driver for all three "printers". Name the printer for it's
function. Once you have created the printer set the defaults to the
functionality you desire. One of the printers must be set to default so
pick the one you will use most for the default.
