It's a new HP printer and there are no substitute drivers that can be used
per HP support (and my trials).
The 2605dn comes with a PCL 6 and PS driver, both crash Excel 5.0 on saving
a file.
Excel 5.0 can successfully print to the 2605 but only in portrait mode. I've
tried tweaking all the properties available and unchecked use advanced
features.
HP support was very interested in this problem and mentioned that new
drivers may be in the works.

Have you gotten newer (or older???) versions of the printer driver from
HP?

If that didn't help, lots of HP's can emulate different printers. Maybe
you
could install that printer and use that driver???

Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain the 'C' release update
for
Excel 5.0?
I just got a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and ANY time you save a document
with
Excel 5.0 it causes an application fault when the HP 2605 is the listed
printer.
The PC must be rebooted.
I'm using XP Pro and have called HP support.
They are stumped also but recommend the C release which I don't have for
Excel 5.0

Thanks
