printing questions

[Gary Keramidas]

client was doing all of the excel manipulation manually. i wrote code to
automate everything. now with my automated procedures, the print jobs are what
holds them up.

in my code i set all the print parameters for each job, and then just use:
..PrintOut Copies:=Numcop, Collate:=True

now, since they have 2 printers, they want to be able to select the printer at
print time and divide the jobs up.

so my question are:

i know it's problematic trying to set up printers in code on more than 1
workstation, but should i just set up each printer on the separate workstations?

they thought showing the print dialog would help, but how do i determine what
pages to print, the number of copies and the ranges?

or, i'll take suggestions on how to better handle this?

Perhaps you could prompt the user to select the printer using this dialog:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show

jb, looks like that may do the trick, thanks.

i didn't want to show the print dialog
