Hello together

is it possible to change the Printer in Word without using the slow function
'ActivePrinter'?

i only need to set the Printer for this one Print-Job and after this the
ActivePrinter (Windows Deafult Printer) should be the old Default Printer.

Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, you can do this. Take a look at the following article

default printer

ActivePrinter is pretty much instantaneous here, and is the function
required to set the printer - see the code at
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm

Note Word formats according to the printer driver, the delays you are
experiencing may be attributable to reflowing the document to the changed
driver. You can't avoid this.
