    The number of copies to print. If this argument is omitted, one copy is printed.

    true to have Microsoft Office Excel invoke print preview before printing the object; false (or omitted) to print the object immediately.

  • activePrinter
    Type: System.Object

    Sets the name of the active printer.

Examples

The following code example uses the PrintOut method to print the current worksheet to a file name specified by the user.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub PrintToFile()
    ' Make sure the worksheet has some data before printing. 
    Me.Range("A1").Value2 = "123" 
    Me.PrintOut(1, 2, 1, False, PrintToFile:=True)
End Sub
private void PrintToFile()
{
    // Make sure the worksheet has some data before printing. 
    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = "123";
    this.PrintOut(1, 2, 1, false, true, false);
}
