How to change the active printer in MS word using delphi xe3

Question

i open a MS Word document using the following code:

  try
  { Open the document}
   WrdApp := CreateOLEObject('Word.Application');
   wrdDoc := 'temp.docx');
  // Wrddoc.SaveAs('temp2.docx');
  except
   on E: Exception do
    begin
     E.Message := 'Could Not Execute MS WORD!';
     raise;
    end;
  end;

And print it using wrdapp.Printout

I have a combobox that has a list of printer names from the computer using the code:

Combobox32.Items.Assign(Printer.Printers);

How do i change the active printer in MS Word to the selected printer in the combobox, so that when i call wrdapp.Printout it will print from the printer selected in the combobox?

thank you in advance for your help.

You can simply assing WrdApp.ActivePrinter with the name of the printer you want to use. In your case, you picjk it from the item selected in the combobox. For a code example, see this: http://francois-piette.blogspot.be/2014/02/automate-word-document-print-using.html
