set different printers for different reports

In my windows application, I have a few different reports that are custom.
We print the reports to pre-formatted carbon paper.

I would like to set the printer for each report so the user doesn't have to
find the particular one from a print dialog box.

I have come across this very nice command <<rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry>that would seem to do it, but it's just a matter
of specifying the report somehow.

I'm using VB 2005, SQL 2005 and windows Reports with no report server.

Thank you for any guidance.
