Like this?

Function table_range()

'return the range of the source table

first_cell = Find_First_Used_Cell()
last_cell = Range_Find_Method(Range(first_cell))

table_range = first_cell + ":" + last_cell

End Function


Function Find_First_Used_Cell()

'Finds the first non-blank cell in a worksheet.

Dim rFound As Range

    On Error Resume Next
    Set rFound = Cells.Find(What:="*", _
                    After:=Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), _
                    LookAt:=xlPart, _
                    LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                    SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                    MatchCase:=False)

    On Error GoTo 0

    If rFound Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "All cells are blank."
    Else
        'MsgBox "First Cell: " & rFound.Address
        Find_First_Used_Cell = rFound.Address
    End If


End Function


Function Range_Find_Method(rng As Range)

    On Error Resume Next
    Set rFound = Cells.Find(What:="*", _
                    After:=rng, _
                    LookAt:=xlPart, _
                    LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                    SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                    MatchCase:=False)

    On Error GoTo 0

    If rFound Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "All cells are blank."
    Else
        'MsgBox "First Cell: " & rFound.Address
        Range_Find_Method = rFound.Address
    End If
End Function

Now you can simply get the range like this:

Sub print_my_range()

Set my_range = Range(table_range())

MsgBox (my_range.Address)

End Sub
