For choosing printer you could use a UserForm.
or
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show

Hey folks, can anyone tell me how to re-activate the office assistant in
Excel 2007-I mean the Assistant has only been deprecated (hidden) so there
must be a way to 'unhide' that thing. Alternatively, can anyone shed any
light on what else can be used instead of balloons to let users make a
selection (i.e. chose printer) ?!?! Any help would be highly
appreciated!!!!!
