打印机^(Printer)提供了许多功能，包括扫描仪、彩色打印、黑白打印等。如果你家里有一台打印机，你不想让每个人都打印彩色文档或不允许使用扫描仪，你怎么办？好消息是Windows允许您安装同一台打印机^(Printer)两次甚至更多次。这允许管理员为打印机创建一种配置文件，然后您可以选择共享您希望共享的配置文件。在这篇文章中，我们将展示如何在Windows^(Windows)上多次安装具有不同设置的同一台打印机。

安装^(Install)具有不同设置的同一台打印机^(Printer)的多个副本

再次安装同一台打印机^(Printer)需要做两件事——打印机^(Printer)的端口和^(Port)驱动程序^(Driver)。这很重要，因为它是同一台打印机^(Printer)，我们在这里寻找的只是复印时打印机的有限功能。^(Printer)

查找打印机端口和驱动程序

打开Windows 设置^{(Windows Settings)}( Win + I)，然后导航到Bluetooth > Printers和扫描仪。选择打印机^(Printer)并单击管理^(Manage)按钮。它将打开打印机管理^{(Printer Management)}，然后单击打印机^(Printer) 属性^(Properties)。

在“属性^(Properties)”窗口中，切换到“端口^(Ports)” 。记^(Note)下选定的Port。然后切换到高级^(Advanced)部分并记下^{(note down the Driver listed)}下拉列表中列出的驱动程序。就我而言，它是USB001 端口^{(USB001 Port)}和Brother HL-L2320D 系列^{(Brother HL-L2320D Series)}。

创建打印机的副本

打开控制面板^{(Control Panel)}并导航到设备^(Devices)和打印机^(Printers)。单击^(Click)添加^(Add)打印机^(Printer)以打开安装向导。立即点击“我要的打印机不在列表^{(The printer that I want isn’t listed)}中”。选择“使用手动设置添加本地打印机或网络”选项旁边的单选按钮，然后单击“下一步”按钮。

在下一个屏幕中，选择显示“使用^(Use)现有端口”的单选按钮，然后单击下一步^(Next)以选择驱动程序。确保^(Make)选择我们在第一部分中提到的相同制造商和打印机驱动程序。然后选择“使用^(Use)当前安装的驱动程序”选项。^(Driver)”点击^{(” Click)}下一步^(Next)按钮。

最后，在下一个屏幕上添加打印机的名称。最后，按完成^(Finish)按钮完成该过程。

如何使用打印机的副本

现在我们有了Printer的副本，是时候配置它的功能了，您可以选择共享这些功能。在Windows 10中，您不会立即看到同一台打印机^(Printer)的多个副本。相反，如果您右键单击列出的打印机并选择属性，您可以在^(Printer)Hardware Profile下看到所有这些。

进一步的细节将根据OEM定制而改变。右键单击打印机^(Printer)，从菜单中选择打印^(Printing)首选项，然后选择打印机^(Printer)的副本。在这里您可以自定义分辨率、纸张大小、高级选项为您提供选择打印机^(Printer)功能等。

如何使用第二台打印机

打开一个文本文件或word文件，然后选择打印。您可以选择打印机^(Printer)的选项，您将拥有在Windows上创建的所有打印机副本。选择它，它将在配置的同一配置文件中打印。

使用这种方法创建打印机副本有很多优点。您可以为不同类型的打印创建配置文件；您可以共享配置文件而不是主打印机^(Printer)，等等。

我希望这篇文章很容易理解，并且您能够在Windows^(Windows)上多次安装具有不同设置的同一台打印机。

Install multiple copies of same Printer on Windows 10

Prіnters offer a plethora of features, іncludіng a scanner, color printing, black and white printing, and so on. If you have a printer at home, and you do not want to allоw evеryone to print a сolored doсumеnt or not allow to use a scanner, how do you go about it? The gооd thing is that Windowѕ allows you to instаll the same Рrinter twice and even morе. This allows an admin to create a sort of profiles for printers, and then you can choose to share the profile that you wіsh to shаre. In this post, we will show how to install the same printer with different settings multiple times on Windows.

Install multiple copies of same Printer with different settings

There are two things you need to install the same Printer again—Printer’s Port and Driver. It is important as its the same Printer, and all we are looking for here is the limited functionality of the Printer when a copy is made.

Find Printer Port and Driver

Open Windows Settings (Win + I), and then navigate to Bluetooth > Printers and scanners. Select the Printer and click on the Manage button. It will open the Printer Management, and then click on Printer Properties.

In the Properties window, switch to the Ports. Note down the selected Port. Then switch to the Advanced section and note down the Driver listed in the dropdown. In my case, it is the USB001 Port and Brother HL-L2320D Series.

Create a Copy of the Printer

Open Control Panel and navigate to Devices and Printers. Click on Add a Printer to open the installation wizard. Immediately click on “The printer that I want isn’t listed.” Select the radio button next to the option “Add a local printer or network with manual settings” and click on the Next button.

In the next screen, select the radio button which says “Use an existing port,” and then click Next to select a driver. Make sure to select the same manufacturer and printer driver we noted in the first section. Then choose the option “Use the Driver that is currently installed.” Click on the Next button.

Finally, add the Printer’s name on the next screen. Lastly, press the Finish button to complete the process.

How to use the copy of the Printer

Now that we have copies of the Printer, its time to configure its features, which you can choose to share. In Windows 10, You don’t get to see multiple copies of the same Printer right upfront. Instead, if you right-click on the listed Printer and select properties, you get to see all of them under Hardware Profile.

The further set of details will change based on OEM have customized. Right-click on the Printer, select Printing preferences from the menu and then select the copy of the Printer. Here you can customize resolution, paper size, advanced options offer you to select Printer functions, and so on.

How to use the second Printer

Open a text file or word file, and choose to print. The option where you can choose the Printer, you will have all the copy of printers you had created on Windows. Select it, and it will print in the same profile it was configured.

Creating a copy of the printer using this method comes with a lot of advantages. You can create a profile for a different type of printing; you can share profiles instead of the main Printer,  and more.

I hope the post was easy to follow, and you were able to install the same printer with different settings multiple times on Windows.
