How to program print preferences
At work a network printer is the default destination, which I have set up to
default to print 2-sided to a Store destination, mailbox 3 on the printer. Documents I create print just fine, but I get many from others at work that I have to manually change to print that way. I want to do this with just a click of a button on my Excel menu bar (once I have the macro, that is no problem). I can't figure out how to do via a macro what I do manually through Print Preferences set the destination to Store and choose Mailbox 3 if that is not already chosen, select 2-sided printing, if not already, then return to the Print box where I will manually choose the number of copies and hit OK to print. I can't find or figure out if there are Excel VBA commands for this, and Sendkeys only gets me part way there. At 20 or more times a day doing this manually, any programming help would be greatly appreciated. |

How to program print preferences
My default printer already has everything I want. It's just that when I get
documents from others, it uses their print setup instead of mine. I have also run into this problem when I set up applications for others to use. If I don't first change my printer setup to be more generic (print instead of sending to my printer mailbox), when they use it and print it will go to my mailbox instead of using their default setup.
