Kaimberex Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am trying to print an Excel worksheet using the Excel UDF. I tried looking through the forums to find my answer but couldn't find my exact issue. I can get it to print to the default printer just fine. However when I try to tell the function what printer to use it still prints to my default printer. Here is a snippet of my code. I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! $oExcelChecklist = _Excel_Open(Default, Default, Default, Default, True) If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "Error starting Excel." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended) $sFilePathChecklist = @ScriptDir & "\Documents\New Hire Checklist.xlsx" $workbookChecklist = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcelChecklist, $sFilePathChecklist) If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "Error opening to workbook." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended) $msgboxPrint = MsgBox(36,"Print","Would you like to print the Quick Guide and Checklist?",0) switch $msgboxPrint case 6 ;YES _Excel_Print($oExcelChecklist, $workbookChecklist.Activesheet,Default,"SecureColor",Default,Default,Default,Default,Default) If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Excel UDF: _Excel_Print Example 2", "Error printing worksheet." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Excel UDF: _Excel_Print Example 2", "Active Worksheet successfully printed.") case 7 ;NO endswitch Secure Color is the name of the printer I want to print to but it still prints to the default printer I have set in the OS.

water Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 You need to specify a network printer in UNC format: "\\VUSSLBSRFS1001.domain.tld\SecureColor" My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just using the printer name I was not using the FQDN of the printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Note: Make sure you observe lower case/upper case. "...\SecureColor" should work, "...\securecolor" will not.
