I am not currently setup that way (new pclos install), but its something I 
have done for several years, was to have a profile set for quick draft 
printing, another for decent text & graphics, and one for max resolution 
photo's and such.

Named lp0 through lp2, I just picked the printer from the list, worked very 
well.  I also have a Brother cheapie laser, B&W only so that's lp3.
