Excel 5.0 release C update
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 |

Excel 5.0 release C update
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???

Excel 5.0 release C update
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.

Excel 5.0 release C update
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.

Excel 5.0 release C update
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. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... I used to own a Panasonic printer.

Oh, for the dot matrix printers of old.
Heck, maybe you could find an old IBM Selectric!

Excel 5.0 release C update
We're not that far behind the curve. We use only the finest Okidata
MicroLine 320 Turbo line printers with one of those new fangled? USB ports on them for invoicing! We do however use a parallel to USB converter cable on one printer to feel more at home with the past. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... Oh, for the dot matrix printers of old.

I'm not positive, but didn't Moses use that same equipment?

I believe you're correct. Wasn't there a verse about his beard getting
