使用 Excel VBA 列出打印机时遇到问题

Trouble listing printers with Excel VBA

原来的问题是这样的:

我有一个 Excel 文件,其中的按钮 运行 是一个宏。此宏需要将 sheet 打印到 2 个独立的网络打印机。工作簿将 运行 在网络上的多台不同计算机上。

我当前的代码如下所示:

Application.ActivePrinter = "Printer-A on Ne02:"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
Application.ActivePrinter = "Printer-B on Ne05:"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False

问题在于 on Ne02:on Ne05:。这些值因一台计算机而异。例如:

我可以通过显示 "select a printer" 对话框并强制用户手动选择打印机来避免这个问题,但我更希望这是自动的。

我试过使用 Windows 脚本主机对象模型来列出所有打印机,如下所示:

Function FindPrinter(name As String)
    Dim nwo As New WshNetwork
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim fullName As String

    For i = 0 To (nwo.EnumPrinterConnections.Count / 2) - 1
        If InStr(nwo.EnumPrinterConnections(i * 2 + 1), name) > 0 Then
            fullName = nwo.EnumPrinterConnections(i * 2 + 1)
        End If
    Next i

    ' Returns the LAST printer that matches
    FindPrinter = fullName
End Function

Sub MyMacro()
    ActivePrinter = FindPrinter("Printer-A")
End Sub

但是这失败了。如果我查看 FindPrinter 的输出,它只返回字符串 "Printer-A" 而没有 "on Ne02:"

如何获得已安装打印机的完整列表,包括这个 "on NeXX:" 位?或者,我怎样才能将一台只知道其名称的打印机设置为活动状态?

连接是枚举的第一部分。本质上 .Item(i + 1) & " on ' & .Item(i)。在你的代码中,这将是,

fullName = nwo.EnumPrinterConnections(i * 2 + 1) & " on " & nwo.EnumPrinterConnections(i * 2)

您必须填写一份类似打印机的列表;目前,您只返回最后一场比赛。
