Word Printing - suppressing the "Printing" pop up box.

[Simon Verona]

I'm printing several documents in one go from within vb.net. I'm creating a Word Object using Active-X and printing using the following line of code:

objWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(Background:=False, Range:=Word.WdPrintOutRange.wdPrintAllDocument, Copies:=1)

This works fine, but pops up an annoying box saying "Document [docname] printing on [printer name]"

Is there any way of suppressing this pop up ??

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Simon,

You can set Background:=True, and then set a timer to look periodically at
the BackgoundPrintingStatus property. When it reaches zero, the file has
been fully spooled to the print manager.

Hi Simon,
.... has nothing to do with word.
It's a matter of the printer's configuration
(in the network). There may be an option like "notify",
that sends a message to the user, when a document was
printed. Set "notify" to false.
