When you run the following macro, you are prompted to enter a range of
cells to print. You can enter a name that refers to a range of cells on a
particular sheet or the range itself (for example A1:C15). You can also
specify multiple ranges by separating each range with a comma. Before you
run the macro, the workbook that you want to print from must be the active
workbook.
Sub Print_Area()
Dim My_Range As String
On Error Resume Next 'enables error handling
My_Range = InputBox("Enter the name of the area to print:")
'if Cancel is chosen then InputBox returns empty string
If Len(My_Range) > 0 Then Range(My_Range).PrintOut
If Err > 0 Then MsgBox "Name or range specified is not valid."
End Sub
