Default Repost - Set print properties in programming?

I suspect it's a combination of not understanding what you're talking
about, and the printer settings being so specific to each printer that
without knowing what printer it is, nobody can offer any specifics.
But I'm inclined to agree with JLGWhiz and say that it isn't possible.

how to program this using commands, and Sendkeys only gets me so far

1. Select Print / Properties. *Set output method to Store, acknowledge
message if it is being changed, and select User Inbox 3 (which already has my
name).

2. At same time, set Print Style to 2-sided Printing.

3. Then select the OK button so you go back to the Print box.

I can do this stuff as a computer default for all documents I generate, but
I want to be able to attach this to a macro button on my Personal template
for all the documents I get from others, because those documents print with
their settings (especially, to their printer inbox), not mine. *Putting a
macro on a button is not the problem - it is the programming of the macro to
do 1, 2 and 3 that is the problem.
