Doug,

This does not address the issue of needing to do this from command line. I,
too, am in the same situation and have ended up in the same stopping point as
Steve.

The command I need to run is:

rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL winword somefile.doc /mFilePrintSetup
"\\dc-lan-02\KONICA MINOLTA C450 PS" /mFilePrintDefault /mDocClose /mFileExit

I need the /mFilePrintSetup to automatically select the specified printer
and close the dialog. That way, the /mFilePrintDefault will now use the
newly selected printer (but not the true system default printer) without
prompting the user for any input.

Does anyone have a workable COMMAND LINE example of how to do this. I
cannot install a macro on 1000s of customers systems.

Mike V.
