Hi all,

To change from Activeprinter to other printer (without showing Print Dialog), we use for example macro code:
Code:
 Application.ActivePrinter = "Brother HL-2170W series on Ne04:"
Or
Code:
 Application.ActivePrinter = "HP LaserJet P2035n Design on Ne03:"
In first code printer name is “ Brother HL-2170W series” & in second code printer name is “ LaserJet P2035n Design”, it is understandable, they are printers names, but how, or from where we can get “Ne04 in first code & “Ne03 in second code ?
Thank you in advance.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Have a look at this which describes how to List Printers In VBA and how to select them
It does not answer your specific question but is a general solution to selecting printers
