I use P-Touch Editor to print labels on my Brother P-Touch Labeller. I also use Word and other applications to print to my regular letter-size laser printer. Sometimes I goof up and send label documents to the laser printer and label documents to the laser printer. Is there any way to limit output from the P-Touch Editor to only the labeller, in other words, link a particular application to a particular printer exclusively?

UPDATE: Now that we have Leopard, isn't it high time that we be able to customize print destination preferences on a per-application basis? I don't know about you, but I can't think of a situation where I'd want to print from Safari to my label printer, and so I should be able to tell Safari "don't use the label printer and don't ever make it an option unless I change this rule."

Maybe this is possible via the Terminal?
