Parameters

Printer: Defines the name of the printer device. If this argument is not specified, the default printer is used.
NumCopies: Defines the number of copies to print. If this argument is not specified, one copy is printed.
Orientation: Defines the orientation of the printout and is defined as a Visual Basic PrinterObjectConstants value. If this argument is not specified, the default orientation of the specified printer is used.
PaperSize: Defines the preference for paper size. This is defined by selecting a PrinterObjectConstants value from the VBRUN object library supplied with Visual Basic. If it is not specified, the default paper size of the printer is used.
Scale: Defines the scale of the plot in decimal form. To print the document at half its size, set Scale to 0.5. To print it at twice its size, set Scale to 2.0. If this argument is not specified, the document is plotted at full scale. If a full-scale plot won't fit on the specified paper size, the document is scaled as needed to fit on the paper.
PrintToFile: Set to True to print the referenced document to a file and use the OutputFilename argument to specify the name of the file to which the document is to be printed. If this argument is not specified, the document is printed to the specified printer.
OutputFileName: Defines the file name to which the referenced document is to be printed. If the PrintToFile argument is True, then OutputFilename must be specified. If PrintToFile is not specified or is set to False, then OutputFilename is ignored.
PrintRange: Defines the method of specifying which sheets to print. This argument only applies when print Draft documents. This is defined by selecting a PrintRangeConstants value. If it is not specified, all sheets in the document are printed. This argument only applies when printing a Draft document.
Sheets: Defines the sheets to print when the PrintRange argument is set to igPrintSpecified. If the PrintRange argument is specified as igPrintSpecified, then Sheets must be provided. If the argument PrintRange argument is not specified or is set to something other than igPrintSpecified, then this argument is ignored. This argument only applies when printing a Draft document. For example, to print sheets 1 through 3, sheet 5, and sheets 9 through 10, the String would be "1-3,5,9-10".
ColorAsBlack: Specifies to print all colors as black when set to True. If this argument is not specified, colors will be printed as true color on color devices or grayscale on black-and-white devices.
Collate: Specifies that all copies are to be collated when set to True. If this argument is not specified, then the copies will not be collated. This argument only applies when printing multiple sheets in a Draft document.
