Default Excel printer selection

Is it possible to assign a network printer to specific excel folders ie. I
want to print from printer (B) because it will print in 11x17 but my default
printer (A) can only print 8.5x11. Can I have my 11x17 spreadsheet
automatically assign printer B or do I have to manually select it?

I just recorded this

sub chgprinter()
Application.ActivePrinter = "Quicken PDF Printer on LPT1:"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
Application.ActivePrinter = "Xerox Phaser 6200B on LPT1:"
end sub

Thank you Don, unfortunately I am not quite at your level of expertise so I
will take what you gave me and ask some more educated people around here how
this can be implemented into my spreadsheet.
