I am using this code to print a record from the form 

Private Sub btnPrintRecord_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnPrintRecord_Click


    DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
    DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection

Exit_btnPrintRecord_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_btnPrintRecord_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_btnPrintRecord_Click

End Sub

But, this code is not popping up print window to select the printer, it is automatically sending to default printer.

Can anyone help to pop up print window to select printer from that.

    DoMenuItem has been deprecated since at least Access 2000. You can use RunCommand to open the print window.

    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint

    It is almost never a good idea to print a record. It does not take long to build a report which can be used with a Where argument. This will give you much more control and give your users a much more pleasant experience.
