Default Print Performance in VBA

I just noticed your syntax, Sheet2.Print.

This is not the normal syntax for printing sheets. I would use:

Sheet2.PrintOut

I have developed an EXCEL 2003 VBA application that works like a charm -
except for printing various reports.

The user selects a report to be produced and it is built to a new sheet.
Watching the process, I can see that this happens very quickly.

However, once the command Sheet2.Print is executed, processing drops to a
crawl. It takes up to a full minute to get the sheet sent to the printer.
What's going on? I can perform the same function from the spreadsheet in a
blink of an eye, but within VBA, it takes forever.

Am I forgetting to set something?
