    Question [SOLVED] Change 'Document Name' property for a print job

    I need to change the 'Document name' property of a job sent to a printer queue - I'm working in Windows 2000 using VB6 sp5.

    In particular, I'd like to change the 'Document Name' property of a job submitted from a Ms Word object using the 'PrintOut' method of the Ms Word App object v. 9.0.

    The print job is to be processed by an application (OCE Prisma Satellite) that MUST identify the job by its 'Document name' property. If the job doesn't have EXACTLY the required name the process fails. Ms Word prefixes every print job with the string 'Microsoft Word - ', thus screwing the whole thing up.

    This external application will process the print job directly from the printing queue once this job has been submiited. Therefore, nothing else has to be done apart from submitting the print job with the correct name.

    To sum up, all I need to do is to merge a MS Word template with a merge file and then send the merged document(s) to a printer setting the required 'Document name' property for the print job.

    Please, help.
