VBA Printing Error
I'm having trouble with my VBA print command - I have a module that helps me with page formatting/setup > print worksheet. However I'm having some problems with the second half - where the first time I run this module, it doesn't apply the page formatting. I will cancel the print job, then run the module for the second time and only then will the page formatting be correct.
This part is the page setup: (rather new to VBA so please excuse if there are unnecessary lines in here!)
and the second part:
When running the module for the first time, this is what shows on the print preview. I've also tried printing it out directly without the print preview line but the same thing is printed out. Mainly it does not set to landscape and does not fit page to 1 page wide
Subsequent attempts will give me the correct format. When i close the program and run it for the first time, it brings me back to the incorrect format.
I've tried to google but it doesn't seem like a common problem. Hope you can help!

Sub printlist()
Dim LR As Long
With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Masterlist Print Format")
LR = .Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With Sheets("Masterlist Print Format").PageSetup

.PrintQuality = 600

End With
and the second part:
.PrintPreview
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show
If Not (Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show) Then Exit Sub
' .PrintOut From:=1, To:=2
End With
End Sub
