Printing from default printer
 

Hello. I couldn't find this particular problem on this forum, so I hope I'm
not repeating a question.

I'm using Excel 97. When I want to print a worksheet, clicking the print
icon doesn't work...hovering over the icon shows the name of the default
printer, and clicking it brings the little printer icon to the right-hand
edge of the taskbar, but it doesn't actually print. I must go to
"File...Print..." then manually select the default printer name from the
drop-down box into the printer name field...it just comes up blank otherwise.
Once I do this, it keeps the printer name there until I close Excel...then
I have to do this all over again next time I open Excel. MS Word 97 works
fine...it will automatically print to the default printer using the print
icon.

Does anyone know why this happens, and what I can do to fix this? Not a big
deal, just a hassle when I have a lot to do. Thanks!

Never mind...I reinstalled the printer (AGAIN!), drivers and all, and for
some reason, this time it took (for now, at least).
