printer problem
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? ....Charlie |

printer problem
Have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling that printer driver?

printer problem
Is the problem the same with any Excel file? Do those files print fine on
another computer? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Dave Peterson" wrote: Have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling that printer driver?

printer problem
Yes. And the problem survives. I expected it would since every other program
uses the driver and printer just fine. |

I don't have another guess.
Well, I would go to the printer manufacturer's site and get a fresh driver. I wouldn't bet that it would work, but it would give you something to try (and later eliminate as the solution).

Perhaps you have another file that starts up on open and re-sets the
printer default to another printer..........I see that a lot in AutoCad files......... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Charlie" wrote in message ... Yes. And the problem survives. I expected it would since every other program uses the driver and printer just fine. |
