Yes, you'll need to install a local driver, as I said. I ought to know, I
wrote that code.

Hi,

How can I install the local -network printer on all the user's machine? Its
not a feasible solution since it involves many users. The code is fine. I
meant to ask whether any time delay is required between print and printer
reset.

Well, if it only works in a circumstance which doesn't apply to you, then
it's *not* fine.

Don't try and do the reset while the print job is still being sent to the
print spooler - therefore don't attempt to use background printing in Word.
The code in my article does throw in a few DoEvents commands to give time
for everything to sort itself out after the print job has gone through
before you then reset the printer back to its default state. i worked out by
trial & error what was enough on the mechine I was developing on, and then
added a few extra ones for a bit of margin to cope with varying situations.

Thanks. It worked now. I need to now check whether it works with other users.
But my end it works fine.

thanks again.
