Hi, basically, I am trying to add 3 macro buttons to the Ribbon that prints to 3 different trays. The exception is the letterhead which prints the first sheet to tray 2 and the rest to tray 3. The problem is, once any of the macros have been used, it changes the default printer to the last one used for some reason. Below is the code and any help would be much appreciated.

Sub Plain()

' Plain Macro

Selection.WholeStory
With ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).Font
If .NameFarEast = .NameAscii Then
.NameAscii = ""
End If
.NameFarEast = ""


End With
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
.LineNumbering.Active = False
.Orientation = wdOrientPortrait
.TopMargin = CentimetersToPoints(2.54)
.BottomMargin = CentimetersToPoints(2.54)
.LeftMargin = CentimetersToPoints(2.54)
.RightMargin = CentimetersToPoints(2.54)
.Gutter = CentimetersToPoints(0)
.HeaderDistance = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
.FooterDistance = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
.PageWidth = CentimetersToPoints(21)
.PageHeight = CentimetersToPoints(29.7)
.FirstPageTray = 257
.OtherPagesTray = 257
.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage
.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False
.VerticalAlignment = wdAlignVerticalTop
.SuppressEndnotes = False
.MirrorMargins = False
.TwoPagesOnOne = False
.BookFoldPrinting = False
.BookFoldRevPrinting = False
.BookFoldPrintingSheets = 1
.GutterPos = wdGutterPosLeft
End With
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _

Thanks Graham for your reply. I had a look at your site and I understand the code but I'm not sure where I would make the changes in my code. Could you point out where and what I should change please?
