MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2006Select paper tray using VBScripting
Is it possible to tell the output from my vbscript which paper tray to print on? I need to print to the lower tray (tray 3) of our HP 8150 and really would like to accomplish this through my script. Is this possible through any type of vb object?

But let me ask - what are you trying to print? Are you controlling Word from the VBScript in order to do the printing?

Is the report a Word document? Do you know what printer it will be printed on? Do you know the Tray ID for the tray you want to use on that printer? If the answer to all these questions is "Yes", then you can proceed as follows 1. Make sure that the ActivePrinter property is set to the correct printer 2. Set the FirstPageTray and OtherPagesTray properties of the document to the tray 3. Print the document using the Printout method. All these things can be done by VBScript controlling the Word object model.
