Using existing list of classes, which are named in the format: 8A/Cp or 13W/Ma. I can print dynamic class lists for our teachers

My existing code works well for printing, but because of the "/" (which we can't change) I can't PDF the files.

The existing code I use is a simple print and repeat:
Code:
Sub PrintfromDropDown()  Dim R As Range
  For Each R In Sheets("SIMS Classes").Range("g4:g250")
    If Not IsEmpty(R) Then
      Range("B1") = R
      ActiveSheet.PrintOut
    End If
  Next
End Sub

How (and where) would I put a find & replace the "/" within "R" variable, so that instead of printing I can pass this as a file name? e.g. 8A/CP becomes 8A-CP or 13W/Ma becomes 13W-Ma.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Use the SUBSTITUTE Function of Excel to replace "/" with "-"

Code:
Sub PrintfromDropDown()
Dim R As Range
  For Each R In Sheets("SIMS Classes").Range("g4:g250")
    If Not IsEmpty(R) Then
      Range("B1") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(R, "/", "-")
      ActiveSheet.PrintOut
    End If
  Next
End Sub
