Excel VBA double sided printing

HI,

How do i set a double sided printing via VBA? my default on my printer preferences is already double sided, but when my file is opened by another then goes back to me, and i print using vba as well-- it will print on just one side.

Thanks!

RE: Excel VBA double sided printing

Hi Ida,

Thank you for the forum question.

I have come across this question before. I checked online and unfortunately the printer options for duplex etc. are not set by Excel they fall outside of VBA'a control.

There might be a way to do accessing the printer's API but it would be fairly complicated, and would depend if the printer manufacturer has published the controls.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this occasion.

Hi Ida,


It can be coded in other languages (C#, C++, F#, and VB)

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
