Just pulling your chain a bit!

Is the problem the same with any Excel file? Do those files print fine

on
another computer?

Have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling that printer driver?

XL 2002, latest level
Windows 2000 Pro, latest level

XL2002 cannot find my networked printer, which is set to my default

printer.
Yet, when the XL print box comes up, the printer in the combo box is

in fact
my default printer. If I just say print, the document seems to

print, but
nothing makes it to the printer, and nothing is in any printer

queue. If I
select any other printer, and then go back to the default printer,

the
document prints fine. XL now knows about my printer.

I have Office installed and this is the only Office program that

does
this.Word, for example, always uses the default printer just fine.

This problem has survived detect-and-fix, amd complete

unistall/reinstall of
XL.

It seems to me that XL is somehow different from any other Office

program
and is not picking up the default printer. This seems like a bug to

me. But
I can't find any reference to this in the newsgroups or the MS

Knowledge
Base.

While I know how to work around this problem, I shouldn['t have to.

Has anyone else experienced this strange behavior?
