[Confused]

I am currently printing word docs from canon copier. I have set 2 printer
drivers from printer control setting (one from recycled paper tray and one
from clean paper tray). The problem I am facing now is that even when i
select the printing driver for the recycled paper, the output is printed from
clean paper.

When i asked the Canon help desk, i was told that Canon's printing
preference is typically overwritten by Word printing preference. Is this
true? Does it mean that I have to frequently adjust the Word page set up
(paper source) setting every thing i decide to switch between recycled paper
and clean paper??? This would be really frustrating if it is the case.

You can switch it in vba - see http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm

Is it possible to do this without using macro/vba?


Page set up - paper source (should I select as auto? since this affects only
the individual doc). Then I can use different printer drivers to determine
which tray to print from?

The problem i have right now is that..macro / vba may not help

There are more printing settings i require. E.g. Recycled tray - print one
side, Normal tray - print double side. These aren't found in the file-page
setup-paper source.

You could install a second copy of the printer driver and configure one for
duplex the other for simplex. Then switch between them as required using the
macro solution.
