Is VBA capable of performing background printing, for example, using a DOS
command promp, of SHell command?

To clarify, I don't mean printing the background of a document, I mean to
have file printing going on while still working in the application.

I think that this is a function of the application.

Excel does this. You see the page numbers flashing by when it's preparing the
output, but when it's done with that, you can continue working--while the pages
print.

MSWord does it if you toggle a setting.
In MSWord:
tools|Options|Print tab|make sure background printing is checked.
