Robert, to my knowledge keyboard shortcuts are not customisable in Excel, the only is to add icon to Quick Access toolbar and use Alt+number on that icon.

Hello Robert,

The only solution is to use some lines of code as below:

Sub QuickPrintByUsingCtrl_P()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+P
    
    On Error GoTo QPrint
    
    If ActiveSheet.Range(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Address).Value = "" Then
    MsgBox "We didn't find anything to print!", vbExclamation
    Else
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut _
                                Copies:=1, _
                                Collate:=True, _
                                IgnorePrintAreas:=False
    End If
    
    Exit Sub
    
QPrint:
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut _
                                Copies:=1, _
                                Collate:=True, _
                                IgnorePrintAreas:=False
End Sub

But you have to copy the above code, save it in the Personal Macro Workbook, and then assign Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut to it.

I hope that helps

wow - this is definitely beyond my capabilities but thanks for the effort.
Maybe it can work for others.
