Using TWO Epson C80's (USB) on ONE Mac G4

[ewrrod]

I'm trying to use 2 Epson C80 Printer on the same Desktop G4.

I'm having trouble recognizing which one is which. I was told about a naming utility that allows you to rename the printer so you know which one to send the job to.

Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how to do it on OS X but I got bored of seeing the same name for the printer on my dad's OS 9 laptop. I found the printer driver to it and changed the name from "SC740" to "Pinky the SC740" just because Pinky (Pinky and the Brain mini-cartoon from Anamaniacs) sounded like a funny name for the printer. I think the same thing should apply for OS X. I believe I also named it that on OS X but I'm not sure....but theoretically you should just be able to change the name of either the printer driver or possibly specify the name in the Print Center utility. Hope that helps.
