I know that in Windows it is possible to use VBA to change the default printer (by using the Application.ActivePrinter command and designating the printer name in quotes). However, trying to do this on a Mac returned a Microsoft Visual Basic dialog box with the following error: Run-time Error '1004'; This command not available for Excel for Macintosh.

Can anyone tell me how to do this on a Mac? I'm using OS X 10.6.

Thx!

Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
