Multiple Instances of Same printer in Network Enviroment

I was wondering if it is possible to setup the same network printer with different features

For Example
Printer 1(a)---defaul
Printer 1 (b)---full duple
Printer 1 (c)---without duple
Printer 1 (d)---with binding

When I attempt this it goes through without an issue, but nothing changes, just resets the printers default settings

Any advice

Thanks!
 
You need to have the administrator of the print server set up multiple
printers on the server that point to the same device.

You could set up printers locally if you had admin rights on your machine.
Create a Local Port with the name \\printserver\printshare (change this for
your configuration). All the local printers you create on your system will
print to the same Local Port. Configure the printers for your
specifications. The data will be formatted on your machine rather than
sending to the server and having the server perform the formatting task.
