Default Big print job created

Check the definition of Print_Area if there is one, or the location of the
last cell if not.
If the last cell is clearly wrong, like IV25000 or H65536 you have a massive
print job!
If that's the case, find the "real" last cell, and delete columns and rows
after that cell, then save & reopen the file.

...
I have 2 excel files that look similar to my eye (100 rows, 20 columns,
shrunk down 40%--similar cell formatting). Both are printing just 1 page.
One of them generates a 14 meg print job, the other a 100k print job. I
don't see anything in page setup or print options that looks different.
I've
printed to different printers, same result. Obviously the bigger print
job
takes a long time. Can anyone suggest what might be causing the huge
print
job? Thanks for any possibilities in advance.
