Print pages using different trays

Marco

Word for Windows has the option in "Page Setup" to print pages/sections from
different printertrays.

How can I set these options on Office for Mac?

I found the settings in the Print dialog, but I want to set these options
from within VBA.

Hi Marco:

Sorry, you can't.

Word does not have its own Print function, it calls the Mac OS Print
routine. The communication is one-way, so the printer options are not
returned to VBA.

Cheers

Hm..we use the function FilePrint to trap the printing. In windows we read
out the printer settings including printer-trays to manipulate the trays
from which we want to print our templates.

The problem is that we use a lot of API-calls in windows to retrieve
printer-trays from all available printers.

I found that the FilePrint function works on the Mac, but I don't know how
to get the available printers and it's paper-trays on the mac..

If there was any method to find the printers and their trays on the Mac, I
would be saved!
