I can't find a good method to auto select the second printer with the same name.

I guess you'd have to create the array containing all the printer names and search it for dups.

Once dups are found, you'd have to tell the user via a messagebox that you can't pick
a printer for he/she and they have to pick one instead. Right after the message, I'd
issue the "SET PRINTER TO GETPRINTER()" command to let the user choose a printer with
the correct port.
