Print to specific printer

[JABarrett]

I have created a form that is used in a network with several printers
installed. All computers have access to the printers. What I am looking to do
is create a button that will automatically print the form to a specific
printer on the network without the user having to choose the printer themself
(as it will not be the default). Is such a thing possible and if so what code
would be needed. Thank you in advance.

Firstly I must appologise for my delay in posting the solution to this.

To set the form to print to a specific printer:

In design view select the "views" option from the task pane. Highlight the
view you are using (unless modified there will only be one) and then click
the "View Properties" button below the selection. In the new window that
appears go to the "Page Setup" tab - on there you can select the default
printer that you want your form to use when it is printed.
