Printing behavoir changed PCL-PS printers

[daniel]

Hi,

in KB Q305713 it sounds that excel recognizes the print-technology of the
printer driver and decides wheter it has to scale or the printer can scale.

But my users have documents created with an PCL-based printer and now on the
PS-driven printers the output differs in page breaks und cutted diagrams.

How do I force Excel to make scaling on his own (like it do when it's a PCL
printer)?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Daniel

Excel uses the printer driver to "frame up" the page. So a different printer
(driver) can result in different results. The most robust would be hard
coded pagebreaks if they are not at the very edge of capacity (so they could
get pushed over on another printer). The other would be fit to pages - but
only if that is appropriate and there could be some variation if it is more
than one page.
