Issues with printing docx using win32com pyhon

Question

Im running a simple app in python that is supposed to print a set number of pages from a document im working on. The document is 8 pages long but using

doc = word.Documents.Open(abs_docx_path)
doc.PrintOut(Range=1,From=1, To=2)

or

doc.PrintOut(From=1, To=2)

it still print every single page in the document instead of only the first and second one. Im running the latest version of word available. Is there something im doing wrong?

You should use Range=wdPrintFromTo

import win32com.client

wdPrintFromTo = 3
word = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
word.Visible = False
abs_docx_path = r"abs_docx_path\document.docx"
doc = word.Documents.Open(abs_docx_path)

doc.PrintOut(Range=wdPrintFromTo, From=1, To=2)

doc.Close(False)
word.Quit()
