How can I install the same printer twice?

How can I install the same printer twice, with different printer for each preferences? I got my printer configured this way with my old Win XP system, but can't find a way to do it with Windows 7.

I do it all the time.  The devices folder and printer stacks multiple instances on the same device on top of the first unit (since it's the same device).  If you have Pro or Ultimate, you can use the UI created by the spooler, printmanagement.msc team, to manage your local printers.  The former team of spooler printers folder is also around, but it's really hidden.

This command will launch the printers (no authorized device) folder
