Hello I am using this code to print out rtf documents with word under windows to the default printer

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
use Win32::OLE qw(in with); 
use Win32::OLE::Variant;

sub wordprinterout{ 
    my $filetoopen= shift @_;
    my $aantal= shift @_;
    #word open
    my $Word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit');
    #$Word->{'Visible'} = 1; # if you want to see what's going on
    my $printer1 = $Word->{ActivePrinter};


    $Word->Documents->Open("$filetoopen") or Carp::croak
      (print "unable to open document", Win32::OLE->LastError());

    my $doc1 = $Word->{ActiveDocument};

    $Word->ActiveDocument->PrintOut(
                Background => 0,
                        Append     => 0,
                        Range => wdPrintAllDocument,
                        Item => wdPrintDocumentContent,
                        Copies => $aantal,<br/>
                 PageType => wdPrintAllPages});
    #$Word->ActiveDocument->PrintOut;
    unlink $filetoopen;
}
