Hello - I was wondering if there was way to specify which printer you want a
report to print to. For example, I have designed a report that I want to
print to PDF distiller everytime the user runs it. If there is a way to do
this could someone please share it with me.
thanks

FYI There are other reports in this database that just print to the default
printer. I don't want those to change.
 
Open the report in design view.
Choose Page Setup on the File menu.
On the Page tab of the dialog, choose Specific Printer.
After selecting a printer and saving the report, it will remember to go to
that printer in future.

That approach works fine as long as you have the printer installed. If you
are trying to develop an application for users who may have other printers
installed, and you do not know at design time which printer they will want
to use, there is a Printer Selection Utility at:

Thank you
