Access multiple printers via quick access toolbar

Question

I would like two quickprint buttons on the quick access toolbar.  One will send the print job to the default printer and the other will send the print job to a different printer (ie: color printer).  I know that I can add Print button that will show the print group (print preview and print options), but that is not what I am interested in.  I essentailly need two quickprint buttons.  Thanks for your help

You could use the Print button to print to the default printer and then create a macro based on the code in the article "Changing the selected (current) printer in Word without changing the system default printer” at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ChangeCurPrinter.htm

and put a button for that macro on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Answer 2

Another macro to try is at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm (despite the URL, this is about printing to a specific printer).

Answer 3

The printer shows grey on the quick access toolbar and does not work.
