My only experience with MacOS was a Hackintosh years ago.
Google AI knows a lot more than me.
To install the same printer twice on a Mac, simply go through the standard printer adding process in System Settings, selecting the printer again when prompted, and assigning a different name or specific settings to differentiate the two instances of the same printer; essentially, you can add the same printer multiple times with unique configurations for each entry. [1, 2, 3]
- Unique names: When adding the printer a second time, give it a different name to easily identify which printer you want to use. [1, 2, 4]
- Custom settings: You can also adjust settings like paper size, print quality, or color options differently between the two printer entries. [2, 5]
- Access via System Settings: Access the printer settings by going to Apple menu > System Settings > Printers & Scanners. [1, 3, 5]
- Open System Settings: Go to the Apple menu and select "System Settings". [1, 3, 5]
- Navigate to Printers & Scanners: Select "Printers & Scanners" from the sidebar. [1, 3, 5]
- Click the "+" button: Click the plus (+) button to add a new printer. [1, 3, 5]
- Select your printer: Choose your desired printer from the list of available devices. [2, 4, 5]
- Assign a different name: When prompted, give this printer a unique name to differentiate it from the first installation. [1, 2, 4]
- Configure settings (optional): Adjust any necessary print settings like paper size or color options. [2, 5, 6]
Generative AI is experimental.
