Use <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Win32%3A%3AOLE&mode=all">Win32::OLE</a> to control Excel and print from within Excel.

I used the code below several years ago to print out an Excel sheet every day. Please note - this code is a snippet and is untested as is.

Hopefully, you can get the idea and adapt to your situation.

<code>
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;
my $excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
|| Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
my $book = $excel->Workbooks->Open("I:\\Path\\To\\File\\file.xls");
my $sheet = $excel->Worksheets(1);
#Sub PrintOut([From], [To], [Copies], [Preview], [ActivePrinter], [PrintToFile], [Collate])
$sheet->PrintOut(1,1,1,0,"HP LaserJet IIIP",0,0);
$book->Save;
$book->Close;
print "Done\n";
