Is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut to SystemSettings>Printers+Scanners?
I switch printers a lot. Maybe even to a specific printer(s)?

Use Spotlight to do it:
⌘ + Spacebar
Type in "Printer" and it should complete to "Printers & Scanners"
Press Return
You can switch to a different printer in the print panel printer selection without having to constantly revisit the Printers & Scanners panel to do this. It is also useful to configure a default printer in the Printers & Scanners's Printer listing.
Another way would be to navigate to /System/Library/PreferencePanes Then right click on PrintAndFax.prefPane and choose "Create alias in" then choose your desktop. Then if you double click that alias now on the Desktop, it will open Print and Fax Settings. Be careful not to accidentally move, change, or delete the file PrintAndFax.prefPane.
Thanks, guys. Not perfect but as I read these suggestions, I see that what I really need to do is change the default printer... a couple of the ideas seem to make that easier.
cheers,
