Dim i As Integer
Dim xCSheetRow As Integer
Dim xSName As String

Dim xRgVal As String
On Error Resume Next
xSName = "Control Sheet"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set xCSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(xSName)
xCSheetRow = xCSheet.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To xCSheetRow
xRgVal = xCSheet.Range("B" & i).Value
If xRgVal = "Print" Or xRgVal = "print" Then
If xCSheet.Range("A" & i).Value <> "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(xCSheet.Range("A" & i).Value).PrintOut
End If
End If
Next
xCSheet.Delete
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = "Control Sheet"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Sheet Name"
Range("B1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Print?"
For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
Range("A" & i + 1).Value = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
Next
Cells.Columns.AutoFit
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
