Custom printing options available through VBA?

I am just learning VBA printing options, so bear with my novice-ness. :)

I'm writing a snippet of code to automate a print job. As part of the job,
I would like to three-hole punch certain pages and staple others. These
options (three-hole punching and stapling) are available through the
PRINTER->PROPERTIES menu, but I do not see any language reference to this
area in VBA. Is it possible for me to automate access to "special" printer
functions through VBA? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.

The easiest way of doing this is create separate printer drivers for
each group of settings and then just print to the appropriate printer.
Eg, My HP 1234 - Normal, My HP 1234 - Duplex punched, My HP 1234 -
Duplex unpunched
