toolbar button for printing

[bigmog]

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I want to write an
application that implments a toolbar button in Word. Clicking the
button should print the current document. I want to control which
printer tray different pages of the document are printed to.

I'm quite a proficient programmer and can handle COM, ActiveX, C++, C#
etc. etc. It seems tray selection is a bit tricky and can be set not
only in world but also in the printer driver.

If anyone can help me with this task or even wants to help write the
application couild you please post to this thread.

Many thanks in advance

Hi All that's great. Actually after posting I found these excellent
articles. Someone has told me that bin settings in the driver can
override the settings in word but I suspect this is not the case.
Probably it was because as mentioned in the articles the were not
passing the correct codes down to the driver.
