LJ4500N Xp Excel printing problem

[John Steiger]

When I print workbooks to our HP Color LJ4500N from XP
Excel, sometimes parts of some pages don't print.
Sometimes they print in b&w. Sometimes one line on a 3
line chart will be missing. I have printed the same single
page three times in a row to our printer and I will get
one or two good printouts (or none or 3). I used to laugh
at staff who would run the same program 3 times expecting
a different result. After switching to XP and Office XP I
no longer laugh. Also, textboxes added to a chart do not
print consistently. But I can open the same file under the
previous version of Excel and print it to the same printer
with no problem.

go figure

Try using the "raster" setting instead of "HPGL/2" under options tab in
the printer preferences
