Changing the default printer...
for Windows.
I have a script which goes through a list in Excel pulls data from the list, opens corresponding .pdf files prints them out and closes acrobat. My issue is that because the PDFs are so cumbersome I would like to alternate between two different office printers as I tend to overload either one individually. I cannot accomplish this with ActivePrinter since the printing is taking place outside of excel. I cannot find a similar command in the Adobe-VBA library to use, which leaves me with the choice of changing the default printer for all of Windows to do what I want. Could anyone give me some direction on this (a link, suggestions, anything helpful), or if I overlooked it, the adobe-vba equivalent? |
