Print document using selected printer

I have this as a custom thunar command.

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/swriter -p %F

I have 2 printers. It prints to a Canon printer but I want it to print using my Brother printer.

How can I accomplish that?

Thanks.

Re: Print document using selected printer

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/swriter --help

"--p" prints to the default printer
"-pt {printername}" lets you specify a printer.

Try using the "--pt {printername}" option instead where "printername" is the name of your brother printer.

Re: Print document using selected printer

Thanks so much.

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/swriter -pt Brother_HL-2240_series %F worked like a charm.
