Printing default for Word

[Guest]

How do I establish different print settings as the default in Word 2003? I
want to quick print, in black and white, last page first without changing the
print properties each time.

Thanks!

You're going to have to change your printer settings.

The way you've been doing it. I don't think you can save printer settings
within the document.

True but you could use a macro.

There are two ways of doing this - either install a copy of the printer
driver with the alternative settings and switch to that to print using the
first macro, or switch the print options as in the second macro. Put the
name of the copy printer (from the file > print dialog) where indicated and
add the macro to a toolbar button.

Sub Printer2()
Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinterActivePrinter = "Put your copy printer name
here"
Application.PrintOut FileName:=""
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter
End Sub


Sub DraftPrint()
With Options
.DefaultTray = "Use printer settings"
.PrintDraft = True
.PrintReverse = True
End With
Application.PrintOut FileName:=""
With Options
.PrintDraft = False
.PrintReverse = False
End With
End Sub

I wondered if it could be done with a macro but my macro experience is very
limited. I tend to do things repeatedly rather than take the time to create
a macro. (I always manage to booger something up in the process.)
