problems with using macro to print

McStevens · Apr 18th, 2002, 02:38 PM

I am trying to create a macro to print to a nondefault printer but I am having no success. I tried setting the ActivePrinter to the printer name and the address on the network and niether work. I made sure the names matched exactly. Any suggestions?

mcstevens,

try turning macro record on, then switch your printers and print.

ive noticed that depending on the operating system, the names of printers are different.

this should give you what you are looking for
