Way to set up print area in Excel to work with duplex printer?

What printer are you using? Excel uses the Windows print driver to print.

One way to handle this situation is to make another printer item, set up for duplex printing, and then print to that printer.  If you need to print duplex, but don't want to make the duplex printer the default printer, you can temporarily change it and then reset it to the regular printer, as in this procedure:

Public Sub PrintToSpecificPrinter(strPrinter As String)

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

   Dim strDefaultPrinter As String
   
   'Save current default printer
   strDefaultPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter
   Debug.Print "Current default printer: " & strDefaultPrinter
   
   'Select a specific printer as new default printer
   Application.ActivePrinter = strPrinter
   
   'Print the current document
   Application.ActiveDocument.PrintOut
   
   'Set printer back to former default printer
   Application.ActivePrinter = strDefaultPrinter
      
ErrorHandlerExit:
   Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
   MsgBox "Error No: " & Err.Number & "; Description: " & _
      Err.Description
   Resume ErrorHandlerExit

End Sub

Apparently it's a Canon Image Runner printer/copier.  I think it's a 3300 . Would that make any difference?

Thanks to all of you...just telling you what she asked me and I will pass it on..thanks :-)
