Currently using xl2010:

I originally wrote this code in xl2000 by recording the print command keystrokes.
Code:
Sub PrintBBReport()
'
' PrintBBReport Macro
' Macro recorded 6/30/2009 by
'

'
    Application.ActivePrinter = "2 BB Report on Ne11:"
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut From:=5, To:=5, Copies:=1, _
        ActivePrinter:="2 BB Report on Ne11:", Collate:=True
        Application.ActivePrinter = "3 Brochure on Ne10:"
End Sub
The code had been working great so far in xl2010, but I fear that yesterday my "2 BB Report" has changed Ne ports for reasons yet unknown. I wish to determine where it (and "3 Brochure") is by recording a macro.

But trying to record the keystrokes in xl2010 like I did in xl2000 only gives me:

Code:
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut From:=5, To:=5, Copies:=1, Collate _
        :=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
End Sub

Any suggestions on how to determine where the 2 printers reside?

Thank you
