Question

i am trying to Print the currently active Document BUT i dont want the PrintDialog to pop-Up and i want to define my own Default printing Settings. Is there a way to that?

i tried using :

ActiveDocument.PrintOut(
Background:=True,
Append:=False,
Range:=Word.WdPrintOutRange.wdPrintAllDocument,
Item:=Word.WdPrintOutItem.wdPrintDocumentContent,
Copies:="3",
Pages:="1-3",
PageType:=Word.WdPrintOutPages.wdPrintAllPages,
PrintToFile:=False,
Collate:=True,
ManualDuplexPrint:=False)
And:

'PrintOut()

And

Application.Dialogs(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdWordDialog.wdDialogFilePrint).Execute()
but there dont quite exactly deal with my problem.

Hi @Vasiliki Konstanti ,
You can use Document.PrintOut() method to print the current document.
Set parameters for the Document.PrintOut() method to achieve the print you want.
For more details about the parameters, you can refer to the following links.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Kindly follow the steps provided below to resolve your issue.

Dim m_PrintDocument = New Printing.PrintDocument

Dim printControl = New Printing.StandardPrintController

m_PrintDocument.PrintController = printControl

m_PrintDocument.Print()

It will Work fine. It will not Display PrintDialog, it send the print Directly to the printer.
