Hi All

I have been looking for a long time for a solution for what I thought would be a simple issue.....

In my program I am opening an Excel template via Interop populating the required information and then trying to send the file to print to a specific printer. After being unable to find a way to send the file using an IP Address I simply entered the Printer Name and while in Debug it worked fine.

As soon as I published the program and installed it on the client computers the file would always print to the default printer on the client machine, I have made sure the printer is installed on the client machine and is named the exact same.

This is the code I am using to point to the printer and while in debug is works perfect:

Code:
xlWorkSheet.PrintOutEx(ActivePrinter:="HP Colour LJ2605 - Packing Station")

Any advice on why this code isn't working when published and installed on the client machines would be much appreciated or any alternative code that I could try as this is driving me insane, especially as it works in debug.

Many Thanks

Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
