Private Sub WorkbookPrintOutPrinter()
    ' Add a range value to make sure that the workbook prints.
    ' An empty workbook will not be printed.
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 55
    Me.PrintOut(1, 2, 1, False, "HP17642", False, False)
End Sub

private void WorkbookPrintOutPrinter()
{
    // Add a range value to make sure that the workbook prints.
    // An empty workbook will not be printed.
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 55;
    this.PrintOut(1, 2, 1, false, "HP17642", false, false, missing);
}
