Different default printers in multiple docking scenario

Guest

Hi,

We're using a Dell Latitude D600 with the same model docking station in two locations - a main office and a satellite branch in another town. The printers in each location are different, and I am hoping it is possible for XP to automatically set the correct default printer based upon which docking station it is currently docked to. I can add printers to different hardware profiles, but they all end up being the same no matter what hardware profile. Is there another way to make this happen?

Thanks in advance

there is no real way to set that up the easiest thing to do is just pay
attention to the printer name when your printing and choose the correct one.
