I'm trying to install 2 printers, same model, on the same machine. So far I
have not been able to get it to work. I tried xp help and found the article
on pooling, that sounds cool, but we need the control of choosing which one
we use. Is this possible? What is the trick?

My problem is that only once instance of the printer shows up in the priner
and fax dialog. Any ideas?
 
Renaming should work too. We do this to provide multiple tray-selections.

(In fact, creating multiple printer-icons, while a tedious process for the
installer, is the only way that printer tray-selection can be made to work
simply and reliably - other methods embed the tray-selection into the
document itself, causing headaches for any other network-user who
subsequently tries to print the same document.)
