Snow Leopard - Excel won't print Borders on Spreadsheet

[Jason]

I have a Spreadsheet and I have the settings "Fit to One Page by One
Page Wide" set. For a good part of it, I have the "All Borders"
option from the borders options set to separate data. It shows up on
the screen, but not in the print preview or when I print regardless of
which of the 3 printers I use in the office (I have a Xerox, HP ,
Epson). Please help. Thanks

First of all make sure that the printer drivers are fully updated - both on
the Mac as well as the print server. Also, set the print quality to the
highest possible setting for the printer involved. You may also need to
experiment with some of the other Color settings in the Print dialog.

I'm not sure that will help as long as the job is being scaled down, but
other than that I don't know what else to suggest.

Thanks -- Tried those things and it didn't work. I think it's a weird
quirky thing with Mac. Before Snow Leopard, the Xerox wouldn't print,
but my epson did. Epson is very old printer so that probably had
something to do with it. Snow Leopard is a piece of crap if you ask
me. The gains are not worth any of these awkward glitches. Plus many
of the old programs won't work with it and the only option is to
upgrade. HMMMMMMM, How convenient. Did they all sit down together
and discuss how to put some $$ in each other's pockets? My photoshop
stopped working and there is likely no cure because it's an older
version. I use Photoshop once a month for maybe 5 minutes and they
want me to bay big $$ to upgrade. Out of principle I'll look for a
rival software program.

Well, I can't really subscribe to the 'conspiracy theory' . It's just
like anything else... As the major components evolve, those that work with
them need to either keep up or be left behind. Unless you happen to drive a
vintage antique auto where do you expect to find bias-ply tires for it? That
certainly doesn't mean that the auto manufacturers have a hidden agenda of
forcing you to buy radial tires

As for Photoshop, depending on what how you use it perhaps you might
consider Photoshop Elements. Much of its big brother's guts at a fraction of
the cost: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/

It also qualifies for upgrade pricing if you ever decide to go back to the
full version.
