I need to print a area but hide some column each time I print. I get an error message with this. Can someone help me fix this macro?

I want to Hide column K &L, and then unhide after I print.


Sub print_route()
.Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
.Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Try removing the dots in front of each "Columns".

Try this
Code:
Sub print_route()
Sheets("sheet1").Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Sheets("sheet1").Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

Sub print_route()
ActiveSheet.Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
ActiveSheet.Columns("K:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub
