    change specific printer when print reports

    I have several laser printers to print reports. I can use Page Setup>Use Specific Printer to set different reports to different printers.
    But if I buy new printers, I need to changes all the related reports.
    Is there any easy ways to solve it?
    Thanks.

    Could write code that opens each report, changes report properties and save with changes. Would probably have to first build a table that holds report names and printer to use. Not sure all that is easier than just manually editing.

    Or instead of setting printer in report properties, could use VBA to change destination printer. Again, a ReportPrinter table would be useful.
