It looks like your trying to use a string where a boolean value is
required.

Sub Printseuplandscape()
'
'
Dim Fitpg
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'
'ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ActiveRange
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = ""
.PrintTitleColumns = ""
End With
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
' .LeftHeader = ""
' .CenterHeader = ""
' .RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = "&D-&T"
.CenterFooter = "&P of &N"
.RightFooter = "&Z&F-&F-&A"
.FitToPagesWide = 1


Fitpg = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="To fit to 1 page type 1, otherwise click cancel",
Default:="", Title:="Fit to page tall", Type:=1)


.FitToPagesTall = Fitpg
' .PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Keep an eye on your spelling also.

Try entering False as a Boolean, that is, don't put the quotes around
it.

Or as ward376 indicated, just set the Default as "", rather than the
"False" you had entered.

as user only has two choices (yes or no) try using a message box.

Sub Printseuplandscape()

Dim Fitp As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

With ActiveSheet

.PageSetup.PrintArea = ActiveRange

With .PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = ""
.PrintTitleColumns = ""
End With

.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address

With .PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = ""
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = "&D-&T"
.CenterFooter = "&P of &N"
.RightFooter = "&Z&F-&F-&A"
.FitToPagesWide = 1

msg = MsgBox("Do you want to Fit to one page?", 36, "Page setUp")

If msg = 6 Then
fitpg = 1
Else
fitpg = False
End If

.FitToPagesTall = fitpg
.PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed

End With

End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
