Here's the situation:

3 different forms, 3 different printers

I already have a script to print the form data to the printer, but the problem is that the printer that it prints to is the default printer. I am unable to switch the default printer because the only thing that gets printed on the printers in which i need to print to is the particular form.

Soooo...is it possible within the button i have created javascript for, to tell it what printer to print to, and only the second page?

I have the IP addresses, names, and network locations of each printer.

Using Acrobat 5, but can use 6 if i need to
Time is of the essence here...thank you,

Mike
 
You probably want to ask this question in the javascript forum. It doesn't appear to be related to Adobe Acrobat.

Acrobat has a JavaScript engine. But, you can't change the printer using it. Default printer only. Sorry, that's the breaks.
