Repost - Set print properties in programming?
Repost cause I got no bytes on this earlier. Using Excel 2003. Network
printer/copier with lots of users, so many use a printer inbox to store their documents until they go to the printer. I haven't been able to figure out how to program this using commands, and Sendkeys only gets me so far 1. Select Print / Properties. Set output method to Store, acknowledge message if it is being changed, and select User Inbox 3 (which already has my name). 2. At same time, set Print Style to 2-sided Printing. 3. Then select the OK button so you go back to the Print box. I can do this stuff as a computer default for all documents I generate, but I want to be able to attach this to a macro button on my Personal template for all the documents I get from others, because those documents print with their settings (especially, to their printer inbox), not mine. Putting a macro on a button is not the problem - it is the programming of the macro to do 1, 2 and 3 that is the problem. |

I am not sure the VBA supports that type of programming for printer
interface. "AZSteve" wrote in message ... Repost cause I got no bytes on this earlier. Using Excel 2003.

Repost - Set print properties in programming?
Have you tried "Recording a Macro" to accomplish?

Repost - Set print properties in programming?
Yes I did try. I get lots of "with..." stuff but nothing that is related to
what I want to accomplish. I suspect this is printer-specific menu stuff (Print Preferences or Page Setup Options) that just looks like it's part of Excel. There are even hot keys, but not for everything. Any more ideas? "JMay" wrote: Have you tried "Recording a Macro" to accomplish? "AZSteve" wrote: Repost cause I got no bytes on this earlier.

Repost - Set print properties in programming?
I suspect it's a combination of not understanding what you're talking
about, and the printer settings being so specific to each printer that without knowing what printer it is, nobody can offer any specifics. But I'm inclined to agree with JLGWhiz and say that it isn't possible. --JP On Nov 6, 8:47*pm, AZSteve wrote: Repost cause I got no bytes on this earlier. *Using Excel 2003. *Network printer/copier with lots of users, so many use a printer inbox to store their documents until they go to the printer. *I haven't been able to figure out how to program this using commands, and Sendkeys only gets me so far 1.
