If I correct the spelling then it works fine for me.

PrintDialog>Dilaog1,poProportional --> PrintDialog>Dialog1,poProportional

Got it.
Thanks for your response - Still unable to print -
but it suggests the problem is not the script but more likely with my system or printer setup

If you have your script open then there is an icon (at least in the latest version of MS) for print, there you can double check printer selection, settings etc.
