Hi guy's

     iam having an database contains three report in that i want to set two report in Laser printer & one in Dot matrix printer .what should i do for setting the printer as default printer (i.e.) when i given the print out it should automatically take the default printer

 Thanks in advance ..

 Bye,

To set the default printer, for a network printer do this:

WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter(printername) 'UNC name

For a local printer:

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter("\\ServerName\Printer Name")

Then print the job. This should work.

Hi ,

If you are automating the print job with a button click, then in the button's On Click event:

1. Check for the default printer and store its name.
2. Change the default printer to the printer required for the job.
3. Print the document.
4. Change the default printer back to the original default.

This code does item 2. I am surprised no one else posted.
