Thanks. One problem with the name method is that I have to define a name
plus code for each print button on the worksheet. If I use your formula
below, Excel adds the sheet name. I cannot use active sheet in the name.

The second is that I am using a macro that deletes the row a1, before
printing.

The preferred method is to use a defined name
Assuming you have a Print_Area modify it to use an OFFSET formula such as
=offset($a$1,0,0,counta($a:$a)-1,15)
Now, it will be self adjusting without action on your part
Look in the help index for OFFSET

How can I set a print area using macros, up to the last filled row and
hard
code the number of columns ?
