print to default printer so I don't have to open notepad

[GuitarMyke]

Hi everybody,

I have a workbook that has a Textbox and also creates a standard txt file from the info in the textbox. In my code, is there a way to have it print to my default printer when I click on the command button so I don't have to open notepad and then print.

Thanks in advance,
Myke

Hello GuitarMyke,

This macro will print a file to the default printer without opening the program first. If you want to open the original program, change the constant vbHide (in blue) to vbNormalFocus. If you don't include the file path, the current directory will be used.
