MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2006active network printer
Hello, I use this code to set the active printer. objDoc.Application.ActivePrinter It works if the printer is local, but not if it's a network printer. Is the code different for network printer? Thanks for your help, Joel Joel Allen was telling us: Joel Allen nous racontait que : > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > It works if the printer is local, but not if it's a network printer.

Can you please help me further? Did you look at this one: Controlling the Printer from Word VBA Part 4: Getting printer driver details http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=183 What code are you using? On a network. you have to specify the server and usually the port name as well. The page I cited above will help you make sense of this. For example, on a local network, the following code sets the active printer: Application.ActivePrinter = "HP DeskJet 930C on SALON on NE01:" A quick way to figure out what to write between the quotes is to use this code after setting the target active printer manually: MsgBox "The name of the active printer is " & ActivePrinter SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Thank you! That worked perfectly. Joel > Joel Allen was telling us: > Joel Allen nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > MsgBox "The name of the active printer is " & ActivePrinter |
