printer definitions

[Jeremy C B Nicoll]

Somewhat like my "network connections" question:

Rather than defining my laser printer just once, and thn always having
to change the driver's idea of what paper size is in it, whether
duplexing is on or not and so on, I thought I'd add the same basic
printer definition more than once, then slightly change the specifics
of how each one is defined, naming the printers accordingly.

For example I might have one defined as "portrait A4 duplexing=on", and
so on. Is there a non-GUI way of comparing multiple such definitions,
at a glance, so one can see that the only things that differ are the
things one wanted to have different, between them?

Jeremy,
You can certainly set up two or more. Our computer club has two color laser
printers. The default printer on all 31 computers is black and white. The
other definition for each is to print in color.
