FYI :

I just finished going through every old HP driver I could think of that
we've used before and found that the

HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5e

driver will print in B&W on the 2605 and not crash Excel 5.0 if you save a
file!

So far so good... now comes the testing on complex stuff.

I used to own a Panasonic printer. I could install the HP Series II
Laserjet
printer driver and it would work. You may want to try that as a second
printer.

The HP Series II LaserJet is so old, you'll lose all the nice newer
features,
but maybe you'll be able to get hardcopy out of xl95.

Good luck,

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
