2010 excel spreadsheets won't print.

I recently got a new PC running Windows 8 and installed MS Office 2013. I have an HP Deskjet 2050 all-in-one printer (j510a). I downloaded the correct print drivers for the printer to my new computer from the HP site and I also performed a "scan doctor" test as recommended when I couldn't solve the problem. Print drivers appear to be installed correctly. All printer test screens work properly. All "new" MS office files appear to print OK and older (2010) Word files and Powerpoint files appear to print OK. However, I have a large number of 2010 Excel templates that I use quite frequently and none of them will print on the HP 2050 with my new computer. They load into the new MS Excel program and the template equations work fine. I just can't print anything from the sheets. I don't know if this is a printer problem or an Excel problem. It appears to be a printer problem. When attempting to print the file, the shelf icon for the printer shows a document ready to be printed . . . There is a short pause . . . then "0 documents to print" . . . but no document ever prints . . . no error statements . . . nothing. Any ideas?

I don't know what the problem was, but I finally resolved it by simply doing a cut-and-paste from the old spreadsheets into new ones. You must make sure you copy all rows and columns from the old sheet into the same number of rows and columns in the new spreadsheet in order to make the macros work, but when done properly, the new template will print. I was told by one of my tech support folks on campus that it is probably a print driver issue with the new Windows 8 print drivers I downloaded for the printer. Not really sure if that is correct or not, but it did solve my problem.

Excel spreadsheet won't save as adobe PDF.

I'm trying to save an excel (2010) speadsheet as an adobe PDF. I keep getting the wait/loading symbol. Never had any trouble in the past doing this. I tried restarting the computer. Didn't help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Which operating system are you using?
Did you copy/move some plugins from an older version of photoshop into the photoshop cs6 Plug-ins folder?
Or in the photoshop preferences, did you point the Additional plugins to an older version of photoshop?

Numbers spreadsheet won't print in correctly in landscape from iCloud

I have a Numbers spreadsheet that needs to be printed in landscape to get all the columns to show. Doing this directly in Numbers works as expected and all columns show correctly. However, after it is shared onto iCloud and you attempt to print from there, selecting Landscape flips both the paper and text on the side basically giving the same result as Portrait. Can anyone else confirm this?
Thank you.

Spreadsheet won't print!

Hi, I have a spreadsheet that I have been able to print. Then, after I made a few changes, I am not able to print it any longer. I have turned off my computer and printer and rebooted, still nothing. Other documents in my saved Appleworks program are able to print, so it's not my printer, nor is it that my power connections are not made. I also emailed an attached file to myself and received it complete, but can not print it!! Any suggestions? Did I hit something that I am unaware of? Or can I resave it to something else?

Hi Yvan,
I tried saving it as an AW5 and when I reopened it, the computer said "the document was created by a previous version of AW. A copy will be opened and (v6.0) will be added to the file name." I selected "OK" and still am unable to print it. I also did what Peggy said...I trashed "com.apple.appleworks.plist" and restarted AW and still am unable to print it! I have not tried the second option she mentions about reinstalling AW. I am looking for my CD. However, I really don't think I moved the applications from the folder to a different location. Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thank you so very much!

Use the desktop version of Docs to Go that is included on each Palm Install disk. Load the spreadsheet into it, then sync.
DTG on the computer will convert the file into a .pdb that can reside on the device's RAM.

Spreadsheet: cell grid won't print.

Downloaded Leopard 10.5.1. Now Appleworks spreadsheets won't print cell grid even though it is selected in the print window. Canon iP5000 printer has latest print driver installed that IS 10.5.1 compatible. Everything else prints fine, just not the cell grid. Canon reps say it must be an Apple problem at this point. Any suggestions? Is Leopard supporting AppleWorks or not? I haven't been able to find out for sure. If it isn't, then I can live with this anomaly.

Hi Hal,
Leopard itself does not 'support' AppleWorks (or any other Carbon application). Carbon applications run in Rosetta, which is included in Leopard.
A possible workaround for the cell boundary printing problem may be to 'print' to a PDF file, then print that to paper from Preview.
Two other maintenance steps that should be done after any installation may also help:
Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on your hard drive, and delete AppleWorks's preferences files. See my reply to consolata in the "I can't save an AppleWorks document" thread for more on deleting prefs.

Need to Merge Excel Spreadsheet data with Word Disposition Sheet

I work for a Medical Devices manufacturer, and in order to keep track of our failures, we enter data into an Excel Spreadsheet and then print out a Disposition form containing similar information, which then gets attached to the Device folder. I would like
a way to cut down the time, by entering the info only once (Via Word, Excel, Access), and having specific info copied to a new field in the existing Spreadsheet and a new Word Document. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to enter the info with one of the Excel/Word/Access, the similar info will auto fill to the other Office documents. If it is correct, your required need some macro via VBA code. If you have further
question about coding, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
If I misunderstanding something, please feel free let us know. I'll appreciate that you explain the requested more clarity.

Won't print cell grid

Using AW 6.2.9
all of a sudden the cell grids in spreadsheet won't print.
All the proper preferences are selected. Grid won't appear on Preview screen either. Would appreciate any hints.
Lou

Hi Lou,
I recall reading a post recently from Yvan Koenig regarding another printing problem. You might also try hiis suggestion, which was to open a new spreadsheet document, then drag the icon of the problem sheet onto the new one. Data and formulas from the original will be inserted into the new sheet, but the embedded print record will not.
I don't know whether it's appropriate to your issue, but it won't harm anything.

Epson C86 won't print Black Economy Print Settings for Excel spreadsheet

Re:
Epson C86
MS Excel 2004 for Mac
Version 11.5.5
When I try to print an Excel spreadsheet using the Epson C86 advanced printer setting of black economy, the C86 will not print economy, it prints standard black.
All other apps, such as MS Word, Safari, Mail, or Preview, the C86 will print black economy.
This is a matter of trying to save ink by printing in black economy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,
Webhead1990

I'm having trouble with my Epson C86 also ... We have a Macbook Pro and IMac connected thru ethernet ... Both are now running Snow Leopard ... Sometimes they will print and sometimes not ... Sometimes economy and sometimes not ... We're not techs but we even tried setting up an IP address ... We need help ...
Anyway, I saw something mentioned about an "An updated driver was posted to the Apple Software Update on 12/15"... I'm not a tech ... Could you give me real specific directions on how to find and install that update ... My email is [email protected] ... I'm not even sure how to track this discussion or get back to it ... E-mail me directions please ...

Why won't OfficeJet Pro 8500A print Office 2010 Excel Spread Sheets?

OfficeJet Pro 8500A prints all documents except those sent from Office 2010 Excel. Printer is default and Ready, but shows no documents in the que.

Hello,
I see that we are having some issue when attempting to print in colour.
I have done some research in to this issue and I have found a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

Excel spreadsheet not printing correctly

Recently bought a Envy 4500 all in one printer that my son installed. Everything works except for one thing on my excel spreadsheets.
1. Every horizontal line is not printing, so I get larger boxes with two lines of print within.
Thanks for your help....pjh
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Probably more reading than you want to do (and not sure if you're using Excel 2010), but I found this:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/in-excel-2010-cannot-get-gridlines...
And maybe the Reader's Digest version of a solution?
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and a small rain forest later this suggestion works:
On existing Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
In the Excel 2010 document, Print Preview and Print>Printer Properties>Advanced>Document Options>Print Optimizations: change setting to Disable. Save the file.
Hopefully to work on new Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
My computer>printers, or printers and devices>printer preferences, change 'Printer Optimization' from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled', then apply.
Fingers crossed this will work on new spread sheets.

2010 Excel print preview moves checkboxes

Good day, we have recently received new Sony Vaio's with 64x arch and 2010 microsoft office 64x. In some of my excel workbooks i have check boxes that when checked shade the corresponding cell, in office 2007 it worked great. But now when I select
multiple tabs to view in print preview(with a ricoh printer as the default printer), the checkboxes in SOME of worksheets move to the left and up, and changes the layout on each worksheet after you exit the print preview, (the check boxes move to the left
and get smaller),basically ruining the document and if I do a print preview with Adobe PDF as the printer it does not ruin the layout.
Can anyone help with this issue. Ricoh has had me change to lanier drivers and still nothing has helped yet.

I have the same problem.
I tried all of the suggestions above (unhide objects, repair, hot fix and printer drivers) and these did not work.
The only way to fix the problem for me was to move back to Excel 2007 (with service pack 2).
This fixed all the problems I was having. I have provided some detail below about the problem and what steps I took to analyse and fix in the hope that this may help resolve the problem in Excel 2010.
Background:
I have a spreadsheet originally created in Excel 2002.
It contains a number of List Boxes, Scroll Bars and Drop Down boxes.
On upgrading to Excel 2010 and converting the file to an .xlsm I encountered a number of problems with these controls, including the problem described above.
Note, I upgraded straight to 2010 not via 2007.
My development system is Vista, Office 2010 and a Cannon MP830 printer.
The problem:
As described above if I do a print or print preview the controls get smaller and move left.
Each time I repeat the print or print preview the size gets smaller and the controls move further left.
I also have two controls that move significantly upwards (as they are well down the sheet), suggesting that the movement is actually proportionally up and left (each time I do a print or print preview).
I tried the suggested fixes above (unhide objects, repair, hot fix and printer drivers).
None of these fixed the problem.
Observations:
1) This problem only happens if I print or print preview with more than one worksheet selected.
If I print or print preview with a single worksheet, the problem does not occur.
2)
I tested the same spreadsheet in Excel 2007 on a different machine (running XP 2002 SP3 and a different printer) and the problem did not occur.
3)
I tested the spreadsheet on a different system running Excel 2010 (XP 2002 SP3) with a different printer and the problem still occurred.
4)
I removed Office 2010 from my development machine and installed Office 2007 and this fixed all problems (see other problems below).
I also needed to install service pack 2 for Office 2007 as 2007 had a known problem handling .xlsm files containing macros.
Without SP2 the spreadsheet stopped working totally as the macros were disabled by Excel.
SP2 fixed this problem.
The above clearly suggests that this is an Excel 2010 problem, is not a problem in 2007 and does not seem to be OS or Printer dependent.
Other problems:
Just to complete the story, the other problems I had with controls after upgrading to 2010 are:
1) Some of the Scroll bars and Drop Down Boxes gained a shadow.
This did not happen to all just some. I could find no way to remove the shadow and had to delete the control and create fresh controls.
The controls did not have a shadow in the 2002 version.
2)
When selecting an item from within a list box, the border of the list box moves slightly (like a nudge).
It returns to its original position but the move looks strange.
This movement does not happen if the zoom for the sheet is set at 100% but any other zoom shows the movement.
I have not been able to fix this other than to keep the zoom at 100% (a work around).
This problem does not occur in Excel 2007.
I hope this helps with the analysis, understanding and resolution of the problem as I am struck and will have to revert to 2007 if this problem cannot be resolved in 2010 (and
will need to advise my clients to stay away from 2010).

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

LaserJet 2600n won't print Ms. Word doc, Publisher, nor excel. Sends paper thru, but no print on it.

My HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer won’t print a Microsoft Word document, nor a Microsoft Office Publisher, any longer. When I try printing a Word document in `either black or colors, the printer sends the paper through, but no print is on the paper. When I click “Properties” in the print dialog box, I get a pop-up window saying, “Word cannot bring up the properties dialog because the printer returned an error.”
I reinstalled the printer driver, and restarted my computer, but this did not help. None of the trouble shooting actions helped.
However, it does print from notepad. But when I tried to print a Ms Excel document, the error box said, “Current printer is unavailable. Select another printer.” And when try to print a pdf file, I get message, “Adobe Reader stopped working.”
I use a 64-bit Toshiba Satellite P505 with Windows 7.
Please advise.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...
