"Cloning" a printer
I checked 300 or 400 posts to try to make sure I wasn't repeating a
regular question here, but I didn't see it asked. I often need to switch my printing properties from color to B & W and back, sometimes from the same application which is easy enough, often from different applications, interspersed by other apps. I think what I need is to have a printer listed twice or three times in the "Printers & Faxes menu in Win XP. One listing would have color Plain paper as the way to print, another might have gray scale and possibly a third with color photo. How do I go about doing that? It seems to be a drag to have to check each different print job to make sure the selected 'mode' hasn't changed. Using a HP 7760. Rick |

Just follow the normal / Add Printer routine, point to your HP 7760, give it a distinctive name (e.g. BW), complete iinstallation, then configure its / Properties the way you want to print. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
