The StartPrint method starts printing the document to a specified printer. This method is used to start the printing process and takes the same parameters as the Print method.
Sub StartPrint(PrinterName As String, Prompt As Integer)
void StartPrint(string PrinterName, int Prompt)
HRESULT StartPrint(BSTR PrinterName, long Prompt)
PrinterName
If no printer name is specified, the document is printed to the default printer.
Prompt
If this parameter is set to 1, the user is prompted with the printer selection dialog box. Otherwise, it should be 0.
See also the Print, StartPrint, EndPrint, PrintPage Event sections.
More than 1 document can be printed within a single StartPrint / EndPrint bracket.
