The number of rows changes hourly. Is there a way for the macro to count
the
number of rows and then based on the number if 55 make it legal size.

the paper sizes. They should not remain in the code.

also how does the computer (and ourselves) know how many rows your print
area have? When know, adjust row_nr to suit please.

I guess not. The syntex error shows up on the following.
xlPaperLetter Letter (8-1/2 in. x 11 in.)
xlPaperA4 A4 (210 mm x 297 mm)
