I have a table of records. Column B is the DATE. I have a macro that will print the last 45 rows of the table, but now I need a macro that will print a range of rows by date.
I would be good if it prompted me to enter the dates. For example, Print from Start Date: >=1/1/2023 to End Date: <=12/31/2023.
The columns will be column B to column K.

Here is the macro the prints the last 45 rows of the table:

VBA Code:
Sub RegisterPrint()
    Dim MyLastRow As Long, i As Long, n As Long, StartRow As Long

'    Call ShowAllPrinters
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.ActivePrinter = "HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network) on NE02:"
    Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show

    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    MyLastRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    n = 0
    StartRow = 17
    For i = MyLastRow To 1 Step -1
      If Range("B" & i).EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
        n = n + 1
        If n = 45 Then
          StartRow = i
          Exit For
        End If
      End If
    Next
    
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("B" & StartRow & ":K" & MyLastRow).Address
'    Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show

'Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
'ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = _
'ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Address

'    Call RegisterHeader
    
   ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Preview:=True, Collate:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False
'    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""

    Range("B1048576").End(xlUp).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

'    Call Change_Font
'-------------------------------------
    Range("A1048576").End(xlUp).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(-16, 0).Select
    Application.GoTo ActiveCell, Scroll:=True
    ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select
    
    Application.ActivePrinter = "HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network) on NE02:"
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.

Sorry, I don't know the protocol.

I didn't post my solution because I am new to this VBA stuff and I figured someone who knew what they were doing would come up with a better way.
Here's my solution:
VBA Code:
Sub Macro1()

Dim sdate As Date
Dim edate As Date
Dim ctg As String

'Enter Start Date
    sdate = InputBox("Please enter the Start Date.", "Start Date", "1/1/" & Year(Now), XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)
'Enter End Date
    edate = InputBox("Please enter the End Date.", "End Date", Date, XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)
'Enter the Category
    ctg = InputBox("Please enter Category.", "Category", "*", XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)

    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table2").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:= _
        ">=" & sdate, Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & edate
    
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table2").Range.AutoFilter Field:=9, Criteria1:=ctg

End Sub
