I remember trying to do this exact same thing about 5 years ago for my
teacher and had the same results.  The problem is that the New Print Shop
identifies its disks not by what data is on them, but by the volume name.
 To change what volume the program looks for would be very complex and
would probably require using a block editor to edit the New Print Shop
program.  I don't know if a patch is available or not.  If anybody knows
of one, please help Miss Clemensen out.

My teacher DID have one 5.25" drive, and I finally just put the first
side of the program disk on one 3.5" floppy and keeping that disk in, and
using both drives.  Still had to switch disks a lot, though not as much.

Sorry about all your trouble trying to get the disks from Br�derbund. 
The only thing I can suggest is just to copy all 13 5.25" disks straight
to 3.5" disks.  You'd still have to use two 3.5" disks for the single
double-sided program disks, but I think you can just throw as much as you
can onto one 3.5" disk from as many 5.25" art disks as you want.

I hope it works!
