Custom Page Header/Footer VBA recorded code not working as expected

[kmw875]

Hello Excel Helpers!

I am a bit stuck. I have a staff member that needs to put certain Header/Footer information on each tab when printing all/any excel documents from one of her bosses. I tried to record a macro that she can have it run on all worksheets without having to do it individually or manually but it does not work as expected.

I need the page header when printing to have the "file name - tab name" (font size 9) and the footer should have "page # of Total number of pages" (font size 9).

It will not give me the tab name if I use the left header so I moved it to the right side and it worked. And the footer shows: "as of &RPage 1 of" if there is an existing footer. The test sheet had "as of Date" in the left footer field. Even using the right footer as a test has issues. Here is the recorded code:

    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .LeftHeader = ""
        .CenterHeader = ""
        .RightHeader = "&9&F - &A"
        .LeftFooter = ""
        .CenterFooter = ""
        .RightFooter = "&9Page &P of &N"
        .LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.7)
        .RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.7)
        .TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
        .BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
        .HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
        .FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
        .PrintHeadings = False
        .PrintGridlines = False
        .PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
        .PrintQuality = 600
        .CenterHorizontally = False
        .CenterVertically = False
        .Orientation = xlPortrait
        .Draft = False
        .PaperSize = xlPaperLetter
        .FirstPageNumber = xlAutomatic
        .Order = xlDownThenOver
        .BlackAndWhite = False
        .Zoom = 100
        .PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
        .OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
        .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False
        .ScaleWithDocHeaderFooter = True
        .AlignMarginsHeaderFooter = True
        .EvenPage.LeftHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.CenterHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.RightHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.LeftFooter.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.CenterFooter.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.RightFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.LeftHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.CenterHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.RightHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.LeftFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.CenterFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.RightFooter.Text = ""
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True

Any help/advice/suggestions is truly appreciated. Thank you, Kim

I'd start by removing the Application.Printcommunication lines and then test it again.

Rory thank you!! Not sure what that was as it was recorded just like that but as you suggested, I removed the lines and its working beautifully. Truly appreciate your help!
