Lotus Notes v6 via LotusScript, set default printer, then print bypassing printer interface.

Using Lotus Notes v6, via LotusScript, I create a doc.  Now I want to automate the print function, with PDF995 as the default printer.  PDF995 has options to autamatically name the file, save the file and display the file.  It also has options to automatically attach the pdf file to an email when creating the PDF995 doc.   I want to avoid the printer interface where I select PDF995 as the printer.
Call UIView.Print _
	( Copies _  '-- # of copies to print
	, RangeFrom _  '-- Starting page (zero means all pages)
	, RangeTo _  '-- Ending page (zero means all pages)
	, Draft _  '-- If TRUE, doc prints in draft mode
	, _  '-- Page separator; default is apparently "page break"
	, _  '-- Form override; default is to use value in doc's Form field
	, False _  '-- If TRUE, the actual view is printed; if FALSE, the selected docs are printed
	, _  '-- If printing a calendar view, this is the begin date
	, _  '-- If printing a calendar view, this is the ending date
	)

Thanks for the input.  We ended up going a different route.
If you went a different route, could you tell us about it? Teach the experts, and help other users?
IMHO you have to give your solution if you want to reward it (and bypass our contributions).

Wow! You'd have had my full support to accept the last answer if you had posted it earlier. I have no objections if you want to reopen the question, so you can accept your own answer.
Way more detail than i actually needed  I think that was due to my poorly worded question.
Nice one.... just what I was looking for too.  Have posted link to this thread here:

which is where I found the default printer setting (oddly a search here didn't turn it up first...)

Oops, don't know where that partial one came from...
