Word 2000 - Using 2 printers - Help 1

[bocker]

I have two printers. I have some documents that I don't use the default printer. How do I save the non default printer on some documents. Thank you!

You don't. You record yourself a macro that swaps the printers. And another one that swaps them back. Make one of them a red smiley toolbar button, and one a purple smiley toolbar button. That's what I do.

Thank you for your reply. I had found some code on that same idea, but I was wondering if there was a different solution. Thank you again.

Well, if you *must*, you can put a macro in those documents that switches printers for you (use the one you recorded) and change the name of it to Document Open. Problem: if you've got macro virus notification set properly, you'll get the option to enable/disable macros. Might be easier to just hit the printer button...

Oops. Of course, you *could* turn your macro virus protection off.

I decided to put one command button on my toolbar to run the following macro. I used the recorder. It changes the printer to my Panasonic, prints the active document, and then returns the printer settings back to the default printer "Canon S630".

Sub PrintPanasonic()
'
' PrintPanasonic Macro
' Print To Panasonic
'
ActivePrinter = "Epson LQ-860+"
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, _
PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0
ActivePrinter = "Canon S630"
End Sub
