Excel 2003 spreadsheet prinout disagrees with print preview
When printing an 18 col by 191 row spreadsheet on 11x17 paper, the resulting
printout has different data than the actual spreadsheet or the print preview. Print preview seems to be in agreement with the spreadsheet. The actual printout is accurate to about the middle of the first page, and then repeats data from several previous rows and then repeats again. I thought maybe having word wrap on text cells might cause a problem, so I turned it off only to get a different permutation. I have certain rows highlighted - the highlights appear with incorrect data in them so the background attribute seems to be correctly assigned to the row but the data is not correctly assigned to the row. The workaround I have found is to port the spreadsheet to word and then print it. |

It sounds like it's a printer/printer driver problem.
Can you test against a different printer--or install a new version of that printer's driver?

It seems likely a printer/printer driver problem...
HP LaserJet 5000 Series PCL 5e - all pages have issues SHARP AR M550N PS - odd pages are bad, even seem OK Lexmark Optra W810 PCL - looks OK on all pages "Dave Peterson" wrote: It sounds like it's a printer/printer driver problem.

The Lexmark is 2 elevator rides away... however,
there is a Postscript driver for the HP Laserjet 5000 installed on our machines by IS. It is slower, but it works correctly. There is also a PCL 6e on the hp.com website, but I need IS permission to install it - it may perhaps also work. Thanks for your response! marion "Dave Peterson" wrote: Use the Lexmark <bg.

Maybe a midnight trip to the HP and Sharp sites to get new printer drivers would
be worth the trip??? Or get your boss involved to help with IT??????
