Hi everyone!

I am currently trying to put together a VBA to open a file dialogue, select PNG files, have a window come up to select the printer, and then print them out with the selected printer.
Everything works, except the printing out part!
I would really appreciate any guidance! :)

This is what I have so far:

Sub PrintOutSketches2()

Dim selectedfiles As String
Dim xApp As Object
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xSelItem As Variant
On Error Resume Next
Set xApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xApp.Visible = False


Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
xFileDlg.InitialFileName = Sheets("Payment Schedule").Range("O17").Value
xFileDlg.AllowMultiSelect = True
xFileDlg.Filters.Add "PNG", "*.png"
xFileDlg.Title = "Select Drawings"

If xFileDlg.Show <> 0 Then
selectedfiles = xFileDlg.SelectedItems(1)

x = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show
Debug.Print

End If

Sheets("Payment Schedule").Select

End Sub

Thank you in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Try this:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show

Thank you for your response!

I made this change, but it printed the first sheet in my workbook, and not the selected images from the File Dialogue.

Hard to test without the file. Sorry. Maybe this will work?
selectedFiles.Printout Copies:=1

Thank you, I just tried it but no luck.
Says selectedfiles is invalid.
I tried xselitems and it didn’t work either.

Not sure what to do ☹️
