Hi,
I know this topic may have been covered before (I just cant find it im afraid)

I have a command button that is printing a number of sheets,

I have a table that tells me a sheet that needs to be printed based on what is selected ("X")

Sheet 1X
Sheet 2

Below is what I'm using to print the basic sheets that need to print regardless,

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'----------------------------------------PRINTING
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheets("contamination")
.Visible = True
.PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True
.Visible = True
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Worksheets("contamination").Activate
CON_PRINT.Hide
Worksheets("SG Tracker").Visible = False
Exit Sub


What can I use to select what sheet (Sheet1 / sheet 2) based on cells ("AL4) or ("AL5") containing "X"

if
sheet EMFILTER.range ("AL4" ="X") print sheet1

sheet EMFILTER.range("AL5" = "X") print sheet2

Inside the PRINTING (selected) Contamination section, the sheet name is the same both times. Is one of these supposed to be something else?

The quick way to modify what you already have is:
VBA Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
For i = 1 To 5
    'PRINT 1===============================================================================
    '----------------------------------------PRINTING EMDOC
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("EMDOC")
        .Visible = True
        .PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True
        .Visible = True
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    '----------------------------------------PRINTING EMFILTER
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("EMFILTER")
        .Visible = True
        .PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True
        .Visible = True
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    '----------------------------------------PRINTING (selected) Contamination
    With Sheets("EMFILTER")
        If .Range("AL4").Value > "" Then
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            With Sheets("**** Contamination")
                .Visible = True
                .PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True
                .Visible = False
            End With
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            Worksheets("Home ").Activate
        ElseIf .Range("AL5").Value > "" Then
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            With Sheets("**** Contamination")
                .Visible = True
                .PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True
                .Visible = False
            End With
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            Worksheets("Home ").Activate
        Else
             
        End If
    End With
Next
End Sub

The streamlined version would be:
VBA Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

    With Sheets("EMFILTER")
        If .Range("AL4").Value > "" Then
            ContamSheet = "**** Contamination"
        ElseIf .Range("AL5").Value > "" Then
            ContamSheet = "**** Contamination"
        'Else
        End If
    End With

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    Sheets(Array("EMDOC", "EMFILTER", ContamSheet)).Select
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=5, Collate:=True
   
    Worksheets("Home ").Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I think your problem is with the name of the Contamination sheet:
VBA Code: 
ContamSheet = "**** Contamination"
I don't think you can have **** in the tab name. If you put those in as a placeholder, you will need to update that information. I changed the **** to something else and the shorter macro worked.

Here's the exact macro I used below. I changed it to a regular sub because I didn't have a form and button to trigger the action.
VBA Code: 
Sub TestPrint2()

    With Sheets("EMFILTER")
        If .Range("A4").Value > "" Then
            ContamSheet = "1234 Contamination"
        ElseIf .Range("A5").Value > "" Then
            ContamSheet = "2345 Contamination"
        'Else
        End If
    End With

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    Sheets(Array("EMDOC", "EMFILTER", ContamSheet)).Select
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=5, Collate:=True
   
    'Worksheets("Home ").Activate

End Sub
