Printing to a device other than the default

Thanks in advance !

I have an application in which I have need to PRINT and FAX from BUT I
do NOT want to change the default printer setting to avoid the
following scenario: Ae user opts to FAX a document... does so, and
then goes out to WORD, types up a document, goes to PRINT it... and
instead of printing it gets FAXED ! I want to avoid this by NOT having
to manipulate the Default Printer for every possible scenario... Does
anyone know the best way to approach this ??? Given that I have
captured the printer name I want to use, is there anyway I can achieve
this ?

I have already tried using the following and it does NOT work:
For Each x In Printers
If x.DeviceName = DeviceNameSelection Then
Set Printer = x
Exit For
End If
Next
