Currently I have a VBA macro that opens, update links and prints ~50 workbooks. The code has all 50 workbooks opened and update individually. This process takes 5mins. 5 mins for 50 workbooks is a lousy ratio.

How can I condense the code to where all the workbooks are opened, updated and printed quicker?

Here is a sample:

Sub Test_Morning()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Workbooks.Open "O:\Sample\2011.xls", UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True
Workbooks.Open "O:\Sample\South 2013.xls", UpdateLinks:=True, ReadOnly:=True
Workbooks.Open "O:\Sample\Distribution.xls.", UpdateLinks:=True, ReadOnly:=True

Workbooks("2011.xls").Activate
Worksheets(1).Select
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
Workbooks("South 2013.xls").Activate
Worksheets(1).Select
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
Workbooks("Distribution.xls").Activate
Worksheets(1).Select
ActiveSheet.PrintOut , from:=1, to:=1

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub
