Default My borders show up as dashed lines. Why?

I have formatted cells to show a medium bold border (format, cells, border).
The printout shows the border but it's broken up. I have gone back into
format, cells, border and the display reveals that medium borders have been
chosen. Do you know why?

Is the printout different than what shows up in Print Preview and what is on
screen?
If so, try the following.

Try removing the lines. Save. Restart the computer, then reapply and see
if that helps.

Perhaps you are maxing out the Printer memory? Is it an incredibly
complicated printout?

Try reinstalling the printer on your workstation

If that does not help, look for a updated driver for the printer and install
it. Print driver bugs can cause this.

If all else fails, try Microsoft Knowlege base.
