One printer, multiple configurations?

Is there a way in XP to have one printer with two different
configurations?

I have an HP deskjet, and what I would like is when I choose
File-Print, I could choose from two available "printers", though they
would be different configs of the same printer.

Like one would be set for normal paper, draft mode, etc. for
day-to-day use, and one would be HP photo paper on best setting for
printing photos, etc.

I tried to copy/paste the printer in Settings-Printers but that didn't
work. Any ideas?
