Multiple printers
I have two printers both connected by USB. One is a Lexmark Mono Laser and the other is a Canon colour Ink Jet. I do not want to set either of them as the default. The Lexmark will be used for B & W printing of letter heads and envelopes. Ideally I want to set the Lexmark up twice so version one can be set to print the normal stuff and version two to do just the envelopes. I can then rename them as Letters and Envelopes respectively then with a simple click I can choose to print whatever is required.
Problem as is at the moment the Canon is picking up the settings of the Lexmark. The Lexmark is set for duplex and the Canon should be single sided but no it picks up the duplex signal from the Lexmark. Ergo it takes ages to set each printer up before I can actually print. Is there any way windows X can sort this or is there an aftermarket Printer Controller available or do I have to find another OS altogether.
Being 70 years old I do have difficulty with technical jargon so please be gentle with me!!!!
