OLECMDID_PAGESETUP select printer other than default   

Hi all

I'm working on a web app that prints without print dialog, custom
margins, header, footer etc.
I was able to make this work with the windows default printer
WB.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMTUSER,1)

But .. it is really necessary to have the app print to a non-default
printer.
Is there anyway to defnine a printer using OLECMDID_PAGESETUP or any
other way?

All help much appreciated

Thanks for your suggestion, Igor, but I can't see any way to select a
printer using these print templates.
Am I missing something here ?

No, you are not. I had this vague recollection that <templateprinter> 
tag allowed one to select non-default printer, but upon checking it 
seems I was wrong.

The only workaround I can think of is to use SetDefaultPrinter to 
temporarily set whatever printer you want to print on as default, start 
printing, then restore the old default.
