Code:
Sub Show_Page()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, lc As Long
Set sh1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
lc = sh1.Cells(1, sh1.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
sh1.PageSetup.PrintArea = sh1.Range("A1:A" & sh1.Cells(sh1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Resize(, lc).Address
    With sh1
        .PrintOut 2, 2, , -1
    End With
End Sub

Above macro will just preview page2 of n pages.
Is it possible to get the address of that page2 range?

I know I can get it with HPageBreaks but that is not what I am after.
On my test workbook, page2 is A48:J94 and this address is what I am after.
If you could just change ".PrintOut 2, 2, , -1" to ".MsgBox 2, 2, , -1 .Address" that would be it!!!!!!
 

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
I don't know if there is an easy way or not.
Here is how you could find the page breaks, so you could do it "manually" since you know page 2 should be in between horizontal page breaks #1 and #2.
VBA Code:
Sub findBreaks()
' ---------------- Horizontal breaks
    hPB = 1
    r = 1
        Do While hPB <= 5 And r < 250
        If ActiveSheet.Rows(r).PageBreak = xlPageBreakAutomatic Then
            MsgBox "Found horizontal page break #" & hPB & " on row " & r
            hPB = hPB + 1
        End If
        r = r + 1
    Loop
    
' ---------------- Vertical breaks
    vPB = 1
    c = 1
        Do While vPB <= 5 And c < 100
        If ActiveSheet.Columns(c).PageBreak = xlPageBreakAutomatic Then
            MsgBox "Found vertical page break #" & vPB & " on column " & c
            vPB = vPB + 1
        End If
        c = c + 1
    Loop
End Sub

Thank you for your answer.
I have that solution and I have been using it for quite a while. Obviously, it works as intended but I wondered if there was a way without using the page breaks.
As asked in my first post, it seems so close when you can do all kind of things with printout but not, at least I can't, what I want.
Thanks again
