Automated printing in word

[CJ Taylor]

I've been looking everywher efor this but all I can find is that Word's
automation library doesn't allow you to pick a printer programatically...
Anyone know of a soluition?

Thanks,
cJ

Hi CJ! :O)

You can use the Application.ActivePrinter property BUT it changes the
default Printer for the whole system... So i guess you have no other than to
reset the default printer like it was after the call to PrintOut.

Yanick,

Thank you very much for that answer. Any idea why Microsoft made this
possible through Excel but not through Word? I'll give that a shot though
and go from there. Thanks again!

I'm no Office automation expert... i have no idea :O)


take a look at this though, it will take care of the default printer thing

Printing in Word is certainly possible through automation.

Yes... But you can't choose what printer you want it to go to.
