Printing shaded columns w/angled headers?

[glasgowd]

Hi there--

I have several worksheets set up with columns color-coded, and the
header rows set to a text angle of 45°.

On-screen, they look terrific--the color stripes angle nicely with the
text at the top of each column. But when I print the sheets, the color
stripes go straight up, and the angled text headings therefore cut
across into adjacent color bars. It's legible, but not as clear as it
is on-screen. (The "Quick Preview" in the Print dialog matches the
actual paper printout, BTW, not the nicer on-screen version.)

Am I missing a setting somewhere that could correct this problem? I'm
using Excel 2004 (11.1.1) under Tiger (10.4.2), and printing to a Canon
PIXMA MP 780.

Thanks!

Are you referring to Print Preview or Normal view? If Print Preview looks
good on screen, but the preview in the print dialog doesn't, it may be a
print driver problem. Have you contacted Canon for any available updates?

Both the Normal view and the Print Preview look correct. The Print
Dialog and the hard copy don't. I'll try Canon....

Thanks!
