You did not indicate a platform, but if it is OSX, then Applescript may be
the way to go.
Check out
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2082.html

For example, the following script prints three copies of the second page of
a document to the printer "Prints Charming" after showing the Print dialog.

set theDoc to alias "Macintosh HD:ReadMe"
set printConfig to {copies:3, starting page:2, ending page:2,
    target printer:"Prints Charming"}
print theDoc with properties printConfig with print dialog


Thanks very much for this Jim. It is only for OS X, so AppleScript
would be fine. I need to set the printer, the paper size and the
orientation for each different print task, so I'll check out this web
page and see what I can find.

Many thanks,
Sarah
