You cannot do this. If each document "remembered" a specific printer, it
would cause problems when the document went to another person.
Rubbish! If 'remembered' printer is not present then Word would use the
default printer. It might be called a 'Preferred Printer' and reside in
OPTIONS. A 5 minute programming exercise is all it would have taken.
OK so make that 10 minutes of coding.
Very disappointing ommision by MS.
I've been coding since about '75 so I know what I am talking about.

We have many printers. How do I make a document remember which printer it
should use when the print icon is clicked on.
Sure I can use the printer drop-down box but I want certain documents to
remember their own 'default printer'.
