Default How to make a document 'remember' which printer.

Hi Graham,

One method that I think Cindy(?) was using was to store the printer name in a custom document property then look for it in a macro.

If it doesn't already do so, couldn't the printer toolbar type macro in your examples include looking for that property and if it
found in the document property a name that matched a printer (or an array of choices that equalled a printer) then go on to
'suggest'/highlight the 'normally' selected printer (and also variables for trays?) for that document on that toolbar?

That would seem to avoid having a macro in a document and also wouldn't affect others who did not run the toolbar macro?

The required printer is not something stored with the document. You can
intercept the print commands in the documents' templates to address the
required printers, and you could do so in the documents themselves, but that
would raise macro security issues - see
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm for some examples.
