Save Each Favorite Printer Setting by Tricking Your Computer
If you frequently use different printer settings when using your printer, such as black & white drafts versus color documents, you've no doubt found out it is a real hassle to change these settings each time you print. Why not trick Windows into thinking you have two different printers? "Install" the same printer twice, then set the Properties for each to match your most commonly used settings. From then on, the only setting change you'll have to make is selecting the printer you want to use.

Here's how:

To install a second version of your printer, select Start > Settings > Printers and click Add Printer. Be sure to give this "other" printer an appropriate name, such as "ColorPrinter". When the installation is complete, you'll see two different printer icons in the Printers window, and you can adjust their properties accordingly. Then just right-click on the printer icons and create a shortcut to your desktop. **You can also drag and drop documents to be printed onto the shortcut for instant printing!
