I will make this as detailed as possible, though hopefully not too detailed that it gets boring.

I want to open a PDF document called c:\temp\permits.pdf
I want to initiate the Print Dialog screen
I want to change the printer to \\EM-NT01\EM-PR33 (which is an HP LaserJet 4100TN)
I want to set copies = 2
I then want to enter the Properties screen
On the Finishing tab, I want to set "Print Quality" to Economode
Then select the Paper tab, and set "Type is" to Plain
Then return to the main Print Dialog screen where the user can hit OK

I also need to do this for a document named c:\temp\tags.pdf, but do not need copies = 2 and the Type is should be Labels.

OR, if all these settings can be done BEFORE displaying the Print Dialog that would be fine as well. I'd prefer NOT to change their existing default printer to do this, but if that must occur, I'd want it to reset to their original default printer when printing complete. Thanks!
