See http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm which demonstrates how to set up
a different printer for envelopes/labels

This seems to be the only newsgroup that gets any activity regarding
Word, so here I am. I think this is an unusual problem.

Word Version/Printer/Driver:
Microsoft Word 2007
Brother HL-7050N Printer
PCL5 Print Driver

Problem:
In order to get my Word Perfect program to print properly on my
printer, I need to use a PCL5 print driver rather than the default
driver for the printer. HOWEVER, when I make that my default printer,
although Word documets print just fine, when I try to print an
envelope I get "garbage". My work around is to change the printer
every time I want to print from Word, but that's a real drag. So....

Question:
Can I set a separate printer as the default printer for Word ? If
not, are there any suggestions so I don't have to keep changing the
designated printer?
