Hi, I am using the script below to print files in a specific location from excel, but the sheets are not printing in A4, they're about half the size they should be, can anyone please spot why? if I print the documents manually they are fine, but priting from the VBA is causing an issue. Thank you

Sub PrintFiles()
Dim oFSO As Object
Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim lngIndex As Long
Dim strFname As String
Dim xlSheet As Worksheet
Dim xlWB As Workbook
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set xlSheet = ActiveSheet
With xlSheet
lngLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For lngIndex = 1 To lngLastRow
strFname = .Range("A" & lngIndex)
If oFSO.FileExists(strFname) Then
'If oFSO.FileExists("C:\Path" & strFname) Then
'If oFSO.FileExists("C:\Path" & strFname & ".xls") Then
Set xlWB = Workbooks.Open(strFname)
'Set xlWB = Workbooks.Open("C:\Path" & strFname)
'Set xlWB = Workbooks.Open("C:\Path" & strFname& ".xls")
xlWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.PrintOut
xlWB.Close savechanges:=False
Else
.Range("A" & lngIndex).Interior.Color = &H80FFFF
End If
Next lngIndex
End With
lbl_Exit:
Set oFSO = Nothing
Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlWB = Nothing
Exit Sub
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

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
If you record your actions for printing, that would be different from what you have coded

I have recorded my macro for printing, this is it, how do I get my VBA to replicate this? I have a spreadsheet with a list of file names, the VBA prints all of the documents without me having to open each document and print them. It works but the size is wrong

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' test
'
'
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False
End Sub
