Since the macro I posted sends two separate print jobs (one before you respond to the message box and another after you respond to it), it cannot simply be spooling. Most likely there is a delay between when the print job is sent to the printer and when it starts printing, regardless of whether you use a macro. You must wait for the first print job to complete and you have flipped the paper before responding to the message box. That said, you might get better results with:
Background:=False
