The Visual Basic for Applications macro instruction to print the current page is 

   ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage
The following VBA macro overrides the Print dialog box (on the File menu) and sets the default print range to Current Page. 

Sub FilePrint()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
    .Range = 2
    .Show
End With
End Sub
