Hi everybody,

Is it possible to install the same printer two times in order to configure
two different printing? one in white and black, and one in color?
Thanks
 
No.

Yes you can do this for locally installed queues. Use the Add Printer
Wizard in the Printers Folder. Select the same Port that the previously
installed printer uses. Select the same driver, if it's not in the list
either install again or select a different driver and change when you make
the configuration changes for the default queue behavior. Name the queue in
reference to the options you what as the defaults (monochrome, duplex,
color, letterheadform...). Complete the Add Printer Wizard to install the
queue, then right click Properties, set the driver and default settings on
the Advanced tab (sometimes in the device tab as well). You can rename the
original printer to it's current setting and set which one you want to use
as default.
