Hi !
just a few days ago, I've found the pywinauto module for python.
This awsome little script helps pressing menus and/or other windows controls
of other applications with only a few lines of python.
So it should be possible for it to open the printer dialog box, and then
choose the correct printer.
Check it out at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto/
Check also the example directory that comes with the installer, it is a
quick way to get used
to the needed syntax.
Cheers
