    Question Printing Macro-series of check boxes

    I have an excel file with 7 sheets. The first is to receive input values. 2-6 produce printable form letters and 7 has behind the scenes equations and tables.

    On sheet one I have a series of check boxes that prompt the user to select which sheets they want printed (sometimes it will be just one, sometimes multiple sheets). These check boxes correspond to TRUE/FALSE values on the last sheet. On sheets 2-6 in cell A1, each has an equation similar to this:
    =IF('data_sheet'!A100=TRUE," ",""). This puts a "value" in cell A1. I have a the following macro on the input sheet:

    Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim Sh As Worksheet
    Dim Arr() As String
    Dim N As Integer
    N = 0
    For Each Sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If Sh.Visible = xlSheetVisible And Sh.Range("A1").Value <> "" Then
    N = N + 1
    ReDim Preserve Arr(1 To N)
    Arr(N) = Sh.Name
    End If
    Next
    With ActiveWorkbook
    .Worksheets(Arr).PrintOut
    End With
    End Sub


    This works fine and prints my selected sheets. We have a program called CutePDF Writer that is setup on system as a printer. When you select this printer, it converts the file into a PDF.
    My question is this:
    How do I modify the above code to print my selected sheets to "CutePDF Writer on CPW2"?

    I have tinkered with the Application.ActivePrinter function with no luck.

    disclaimer... I know how to program in C++ but don't know visual basic or understand its syntax, so you need to be specific with your response.

    Thanks in advance
