Hi, I have a ASP.NET Web App which is copying a Report to an Excel Sheet by creating an HTML table and copying the contents. I want to fit the excel report into 1 page before firing the print option. This needs to be done programatically while I'm generating the Excel workbook. Please provide a solution to this asap.

Following is the code that I used to open an Excel workbook and print it with custom printer settings:
Dim xl As New Excel.Application
xl.DisplayAlerts = False
xl.Workbooks.Open("<FilePath>", Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, _
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)
Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim ws
Try
For Each ws In xl.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Select(Type.Missing)
With ws.PageSetup
.PaperSize = Excel.XlPaperSize.xlPaperA4
.Orientation = Excel.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape
.Zoom = 80
.BottomMargin = 0.25
.LeftMargin = 0.25
.RightMargin = 0.25
.TopMargin = 0.25
.FitToPagesWide = 1
End With
ws.PrintOut(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)
Next
Catch exp As Exception
MsgBox("Unable to setup printing properties for the sheet." & Chr(13) & "Check if you have printer installed on your machine.", MsgBoxStyle.OKOnly)
Finally
xl.Workbooks.Close()
xl.Quit()
While (System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xl) > 0)
''do nothing
End While
xl = Nothing
End Try
