Silent printing of pdf files to a named printer...

I would like to silently print PDF files from the hard drive to a named printer, which may or may not be the default printer.

In the this thread, it shows how to silently print the PDF but it always goes to the default printer. Is there a command line that allows the entry of the printer name? Is there a better way to go?

Thanks,

Nitro

I used the link in your thread to find out how to do the printing but I too would like to print to a specific printer.

I used this command...

?"[FilePrintTo(" & Chr(34) & sPDFPath & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & PrinterName & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & printerDriver & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & PrinterPort & Chr(34) & ")]"

e.g
[FilePrintTo("c:\test.pdf","\\echo\Canon i6500","winspool","Ne02:")]

I found this information on adobe.com...
http://partners.adobe.com/public/dev...y%20printer%22

It does say that this should pop up a modal window (therefore not silent) however this did not happen with me and it allows me to print silently to a named printer
