Printing problem

[Bill Parker]

I am operating Mac OS 10.2.8 on a G4 powerbook with Excel
X for Mac (part of Office X) I have tried to print both to
an Epson color 760, and an HP 935 connected directly. I can
never get any Excel workbooks to print even though I have
no problem with Word or Powerpoint. The print dialogue
comes up, the spooling bar appears but nothing reaches the
print center. Any ideas?

I have just found that when I go to print preview, the page
is blank. Does this mean I have a defective Excel?

Have you updated XL with the 10.1.2, 10.1.4 and 10.1.5 updaters found at

MacTopia Downloads

Early versions of XLv.X had this problem unless you changed the Print
quality in the print dialog (to high, I believe).

Other potential problems:

Have you set the print area to a blank region?

Is your print driver up to date?

Does changing fonts make a difference?

How do I get a more recent version of XLv.X? I have tried
to find updates on the Microsoft webpage but could find none.

Use the URL I gave you.
