Nope. Not in Win 7 "devices & printers" > Add a printer > Add a network printer > (because the network printer is already installed, it doesn't show up but I can browse to it)
I browse to the printer, choose it, and it won't let me change the name (greyed out as Laserjet xxxx). I click finish, and I still only have 1 printer.

Can't you just create a second printer pointing to the same device, give it a different name and set the default tray differently?

I can add the printer to a Windows 7 pc fine, but I would like to add it a second time. So the user would have 2 printers to print from in Windows "Laserjet Tray1" and "Lasetjet Tray2". Is this possible? If so, how? I used to do this all the time in Win XP so the user doesn't have to pick tray 2 every time they want to print to tray 2.
