MS Excel Automated Printing

Comment:
While working with MS Excel I was trying to figure a way to automatically open and print a document at a specific time.
For example, every Monday morning at 7am, I should be able to walk to the printer and my document would be printed out already.

Sounds to me like a programming query
I think that the only way this could be done, would be if someone would create a third party application that would do this for you.
Excel's VBA has a time function that perhaps could be used to open and print a doc, but it needs excel to be open. And you would probably need to have the code within a loop to check when the time is correct in order to carry out the task.
