Hey there

Anyone knows how to control printer trays while printing in vb via another
application?

Ie. I want to print out a pdf document, but page 1 on a paper from tray #1
and the rest from tray #2. You can set the tray from inside vb with
Printer.PaperBin, but this doesn't apply when I use another application such
as Acrobat Reader to do the printing.

I've come across an idea of setting the system default printer and make some
API calls to control trays, and then printing from the application, but
there must be a nicer way around...

Regards, Henning
