    Yes, I tried to record a macro to get printer name but in vain.
    I opened a workbook. Click on record macro. Give print command. Select doPdf v7 as printer but in recorded macro I didn't get a printer name.

    Please suggest me a proper way to get a printer name by recording macro.

    The code suggested by you is not working because there is no pdf option in save as file format.

    Thank you.
