You don't. Word retains the last used printer until it is restarted when it
adopts the Windows default printer. To print to a specific printer you are
better off using a simple macro. See http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm
for the method.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I don't want to change printers only to get the
printer to revert to default property settings i.e. revert to auto select for
paper bin.
