I've tried to change the printer settings through visual basic
*****************************************
Report.PrinterSetup (0)
Report.PaperSource = 259
Call Report.PrintOut(false, 1, True, 1, 1)

-- this prints the report from the correct tray, but
-- the user gets a popup window that i don't want

*****************************************


For Each X In Printers
If X.DeviceName = lstPrintList.Text Then
' Set printer as system default.
Set Printer = X
' Stop looking for a printer.
Exit For
End If
Next

Call Report.SelectPrinter(X.DriverName, X.DeviceName, X.Port)

Report.PaperSource = 259
MsgBox Report.Papersource -- the papersource hasn't
--changed ?!
Call Report.PrintOut(false, 1, True, 1, 1)

-- here the user can select the printer from a listbox, but
-- the papersource hasn't changed ?! Why??
