Hi All,

Is there a way to change printer settings within vba code?

for example change it from printing black and white to printing colour?

cheers
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Sure, but your best bet is to record a macro changing your print settings. That way VBA will catch those things that your particular printer can/can't do (since they do talk to each other).

Post back what you get and someone can clean it up for you.

Hi,
Thanx for the quick reply.
For some reason when im recording it wont do anything. all i can get is if i select stuff. If i change settings nothing, only:
ExecuteExcel4Macro "PRINT(1,,,1,,,,,,,,2,,,TRUE,,FALSE)"
