I have a form created in Designer 7.0 that i have two print buttons that I would like to designate specific printers for on my network with out having to select via print dialog box.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!

The Printer can be selected in the Acrobat JavaScript print function. But Silent printing is only allowed from a privileged context, such as a trusted funtion in a Folder Level Script. You can't do it from a button on a PDF. Which makes sense because the printer is on the user's system/network. Such a button would not make sense to users on a different system/network.

Look in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for more information and samples.
