DEFAULT PRINTER SETUP

Does anyone know if it is possible and how to setup multiple printers so that each one prints from different software every time? Default printer for diferent software.
Any software or hardware available to do that?

Hardware wouldn't be able to do this, as it cannot determine the currently running job (app). However, software might.
But as hdhondt suggests, some programs DONT print to the default printer, so a simple script isn't enough. You need to capture the print, and process it according to some rules that you predefine (program x prints on printer y).
A good print/output management software can do this. But which one to choose depends on the size of your wallet. I dont know of any free ones, but you could ofcouse check and see if you might not be able to find one that suits your needs, and/or has a demo version that is sufficient to do what you want.
