I’ve set up a # of printers on the DAS machine. One printer I set up twice
with 2 different names in order to select 2 different trays (reg paper vs.
3-hole punch).
I’m using the following script format but it doesn’t seem to be working.
sub main
ActiveDocument.printout(“Acct 2 - HP LaserJet 5Si on FF001N01”)
end sub
Is anyone doing this that could help me out?
Greatly appreciated!

Julie:
I may be wrong, but I think you have to use the printer address rather than
the name. In other words, something like \server_name\printer_name. I
generally get this off of the properties screen in the printer manager window.
If you right-click on the printer icon, you see a properties screen. On the
details tab you can find the exact printer address.
I’m not sure if this would allow you to define the same printer twice, which
is what you are trying to do. The same printer would, of course, have the same
network address. So there would be no way to distinguish between the two.
If you do find a way to make that work, or if someone can correct my
understanding of how this works, please do so!
