I have been using the ShellExecute command for about a year to print
out a list of PDF files. It's a great capability. Of course, the
documents are actually printed by the Adobe application. We have
recently added a new, high speed, black and white, printer which would
be perfect for the engineering documents I want to print.
Does anyone know if the destination printer can be selected when
using ShellExecute? There is a string field called parameters which
might be usable for that purpose but I have no protocol information
for it. I have looked through Adobe help and could find nothing under
the headings of "Printers", "Selecting", "Command Lines" or "DOS"
I don't want to change the windows default printer even briefly.
As a work around I can make it work by opening Adobe manually and
selecting the desired printer. All subsequent documents then go to
that printer. I would rather set it programatically.
Thanks,
Hank Reed
