That's correct. Outlook 'items' have only a 'PrintOut' method that uses the default settings. That's why I need to reset the default printer and set it back. BTW, I did go back and glance at your (and Ed's) articles in VFUG. They are very good. I'm sure I will be using WSH more.

Thanks again.

>I'm not that familar with the Outlook object model, but I don't think it has an ActivePrinter property that can be used as you would with Excel and Word. Further, a search of the docs doesn't reveal a method to change the printer. I assume that this means that Outlook uses the default, and setting that via the method I mentioned earlier might work.
