Well Claude, I'm glad you know what the problem is.

Unfortunately, I don't use a laptop and I don't use Ubuntu- although
I'm just starting to trial it to see if it's suitable for people with
little computer knowledge. I did a fair bit of research to try and fix
my printing problems, and I remember that as one issue that was
mentioned.

Does Ubuntu use CUPS for printing? If so you can set up your two
printers through the web interface using a normal browser. Just type 

http://localhost:631/printers  into the location bar.

I'm surprised that you can't set up two different ISPs in the dial-up
system. Again I don't use dialup so I have no experience.

Maybe you could ask these questions at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
