The short answer is that you can't save printer assignments with the
document, but you can setup the trays in File Page setup, but these are
only relevant if the printer with that tray assignment is available.

For a PCL printer, you can address the printer directly from the document
using a PRINT field to send the relevant tray selection command, but if you
simply want to print occasionally from Tray 4 a simple macro attached to a
toolbar button would be a plan:

Sub PrintTray4()
With Options
.DefaultTray = "Tray 4"
End With
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Copies:=1
With Options
.DefaultTray = "Use printer settings"
End With
End Sub

I work in Word2000 on Windows2000.

When I select to print a Word document from tray 4 of the printer, it
keeps that setting for all documents that I open afterwards.

How can I set this for one document only, so that the next document
prints from the default tray again ?
