Easy Printer Switch Question
I have access to two printers. I standardly use printer A, and typicaly hit
PRINT or use the print button to print to the A printer. However, I'd like to set up a button in the Excel toolbar to print to the B printer when necessary. I know this is possible (and I've tried it). However, the problem is that when I click on the Printer B button, it changes the "default" printer in Excel to the B printer. I'd like to have the A printer always be the default printer and have the B Printer button just print to printer B and NOT change the default printer away from Printer A. Can anyone assist? Or am I stuck using a macro to do this? Thanks very much for any assistance. |
