Bill, What you want is to be able to make API calls to the HP printer driver. I want to do the exact same thing at my firm and I had two HP Sales/Techies in here and they said, "Huh, we never thought of that...". I'm not sure if they were speaking for themselves or for HP, but you can't do it via a WPWin macro.
