Is there an easier way to view and manage print queues of multiple printers?

The new print center feature will no longer allow me to open two separate window print queues at once. Is there a new way to move documents from one printer to another? I use two printers at two separate locations. Sometimes I am three documents in before I realize I'm printing to the wrong one. Used to be able to open both printers queues as separate windows and just drag the files to the current printer from the printer that was not connected. Now it just keeps switching from one printer to the other and there is no copy or move option. I have to go back and reopen the files and make sure they are printing to the connected printer.

No, you have to halt the process and send to the other printer.


We have five printers/scanners attached to our Macs. I differentiate each by a different name which also includes the location. For example: my wife's printer is named "Gala - Sewing Room". Gala is a variety of apple fruit. Our network backup mac's printer is named "Bailey - Upstairs Lab". Bailey is also an apple variety. Knowing where to print is a no brainer.
