Another solution is to put the printer dialog for the user to determine what happend next--not easy to determine if the printer is ready unless it is next to the PC

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show

If this returns true, the user clicked OK i.e. print else the return value is false i.e. the user clicked Cancel. In adition to this, the user can
select the target printer (why always use the default?),
specify the number of copies etc.
