Trying to print a file in its program by clicking a command button

[mphotographer via AccessMonster.com]

Ok. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have a database of mechanical drawings
and I need the abilty to print in two sizes. I was able to design a command
button that gave me a print out of an 8.5x11" version of the drawing located
in my form/report. My trouble is creating a large print of these images. I
need a way to print the image 40" wide. I don't think you can do it directly
from access because of 22.25" printing restriction. So I have a shell that
opens autocad by clicking the button.

Shell "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MDT 2007\acad.exe"

How to I program this button to open this shell and automate the printing
process? I need a "stupid proof" print button for the shop. Thanks for any
help.
