WordXP/2003 Printing to multiple printers of different Brand.

[Marcel Kollenaar]

Hi,

I have a potential customer that has 170 workstations and multiple printer
devices all over the building. The printers are not standarized they use 4
different printer brands, Canon, HP, Lexmark, Kyocera. This company wants to
have their letter, fax, report, etc automated with their Company Style.

Does someone here has experience with printing from Word to different
printers and maybe a (vba) solution or good idea how to handle this multiple
printer- and papertray selection problem?

What we do is keep a database that keeps track of all the printers, their
paper tray numbers and what type of paper we keep in each paper tray. I have
a simple VBA application that reads that table and then sets the paper trays
and prints to the right printer.
