Selecting trays by paper type in visual basic

Can anyone tell me how I can select a paper tray by using the tray's assigned paper type through visual basic? I am creating a document programatically through word and I want to print it to the assigned letterhead tray

Microsoft document Q194789 is the best place to start.

You can then use the PaperSize and PaperBin properties of the Printer object.

I was trying to assign trays based on the paper type using the NT Forms tab in the printer driver. I then wanted to print using Word programmatically through Visual Basic by just giving a paper type and let the driver figure out which tray to use. Is there a way to do that?
