I have a printer named 'eCopy PaperWorks Printer' with the port showing as 'ECOPYPAPERWORKS' in the Print Preferences dialog box. What VBA code would I write if I wanted to print to this specific printer? Easy question, I know, but I'm new. Thanks.

Have you tried recording a macro?
Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
I'll give that a try. Normally when I've done that, it prints to the default printer.
OK, I created a macro selecting the eCopy printer and it created code that simply prints on the default printer. I need to specify a different printer for this task, not just the default. Thanks again.

Any suggestions?
Hello rkjudy,
This script will tell you the name of the printer and the port it uses. You can then use the name matching your printer to change the printer using Application.ActivePrinter.
