The physcians here would like to use a dummy printer senario for certain handouts. At this point in time we print everything via handouts.
When we go to print from within forms we use PRINTHANDOUT.
When our writers go to the medication list and add a new med and then print patient handout for meaningful use, they don't want this to actually print. Since the patient gets the same information from the pharmacy. This functions also uses handout to print.
I know I can't use letter to print in an open document. Does any one have suggestions for me on this.
Thanks, Deb

One could probably program a button on another form to trigger/write the same data to the appropriate audit table that gets written when you check the box, but doing so negates the intent and true purpose of the MU measure. From an IT viewpoint, I would not program such a button, knowing that it shouldn't be done technically/ethically/legally. 
Back before GE repaired the auditing problems associated with the "one click print handout" buttons, I know users were pushing the audit events to the appropriate table to "count" for MU at the same time the handout was printed (combo-button). However, that was a workaround to the system not recording the function, not a workaround to not provide the information to the patient and save paper.
