Important
The WorksheetPrintOptions.Draft, WorksheetPrintOptions.NumberOfCopies and WorksheetPrintOptions.CommentsPrintMode options are not supported when you print a workbook from the Spreadsheet control. The Spreadsheet saves these property values to a document, so that you can print the document in Microsoft® Excel® or another spreadsheet application.
