Default Set default printer per document

Can anyone tell me how a printer can be assigned to a word document per
default? So that different docs have different printers assigned as default.
Thanks

The short answer: You can't.

The not so short answer: You can create a macro and run this macro to
print from the printer you select:

Sub YourPrinter()
ActivePrinter = "Insert printer name here"
Application.PrintOut
End Sub
