In Thunderbird, with two accounts setup, is there a place to configure a different printer for each account?

I'm trying to use Thunderbird as a print proxy. I have two accounts setup and am using the FiltaQuilla add-on so that I can filter my messages from specific senders to print. The issue I have is that it will only print to 1 default printer. Because of the location of staff that deal with the separate email accounts setup, it would be best to print to 2 separate printers for the individual accounts. Just wondering if anyone knows a way to accomplish this, like maybe I am missing something? Thank you!

You would have to set up a second profile that uses the other printer, instead of the default printer. Profiles can be created with Profile Manager, and there's an add-on to simplify switching between profiles.

Printer set up isn't related to email accounts.
