Specifying printer name for unattended Word automation

S

scw-tzg

We use Visual C++ with Word Automation to process a mail merge without user
intervention. We are using the old WordBasic Object's FilePrintSetup &
FilePrint methods to print the resulting document so as not to impact the
setting for the default printer. Is there a specific format that the printer
name must be in to set it for Word? In the past, when this solution was
written in VB6 going against Word 97, it seemed the name had to be specified
like "\\Network-A\Printer2 on Ne02:". Is this still the case in Office Word
2003?
