Excel spreadsheet prints incorrectly--lacks grids, some colors--Pixma MX922

I can't print an Excel Spreadsheet correctly to my Canon Pixma MX922. It comes out lacking borders and lacking some of the colors, even though in print preview it looks perfect. I am using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Windows 7. I just reinstalled the printer driver but this didn't help. I CAN print out photos correctly, but if they are part of a spreadsheet, they print lacking colors, too. Any advice?
Thanks,
Shari Shaw

Thanks for taking the time to reply, John, but that's not the problem. I have gridlines checked. I have done some further checking and I think it's a print-head issue. I'll try cleaning and deep-cleaning the nozzles...
Thanks again!

  • Cannot get grid to print on imported ms excel spreadsheet

    hi,
    i've been through the knowledge base and such on this one and the help files that come with numbers and i can't seem to get the answer i'm looking for.
    there have been a number of people on here who have said they can't get the grid to stop printing on an imported excel spreadsheet. i'm having just the opposite problem ——>> i want the grid to print on a spreadsheet from excel i've imported, but each time i print i waste paper because the grid i want on it never prints.
    i have done extactly what the help instructions say: i have selected the table & sheet it is on in the sheet pane, gone to the view menu and done "Show Print View," opened the inspector and chosen the table inspector button, and clicked on the cell border button to show all the grid lines. each time i print, however, they still do not show.
    this is on a black macbook intel core2 duo, 2.0 ghz, 2 gb RAM, 200 gb hd, mac os x 10.4.10 with all the latest update, security and otherwise, and an hp 2510 PSC ink jet printer.
    if anyone could please help me out with this, it'd be most appreciated. i like numbers so far. but one of the easiest things about ms excel is going into page set-up and choosing to show the gridlines or not in printing — you'd think there would be an easy preference or inspector choice here also, but it is not at all apparent.

    I believe you have too much RAM installed ( sorry just a little Numbers' humor).
    I found if I have print gridlines set in Excel, then the same settings transfer to the Numbers' version. They are _very light_ though. Here is how I change border settings. Select the range of cells, set line type, then number of points and color:

  • I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer

    Hi Cynthia,
    Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
    For your seven column table:
    Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
    Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
    The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
    To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
    To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
    Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
    Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
    With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
    With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
    With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.

    Barry

  • Colors printing incorrectly

    my mbp prints incorrectly. It seems that reds are missing. The LCD looks correct and strangely enough, the thing prints correctly if I boot up in windows.

    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.

  • Help team! I need to find a way to copy the information on a website database to an Excel spreadsheet. It's probably really simple for some of you!

    Hey there!
    So without getting into too much detail, here's my problem:
    I have to take every approved entry from this website: http://eapr.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/CertDetails.aspx
    Then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. I need only 'Declared Articles' from each category (aplliance connectors, etc), and then only a few subfieds in them:
    -Name
    -Certificate Number
    -Model Number
    -Expiry Date
    -Article Class
    -Description (Including volts, amps, watts and hertz if included)
    -Volts
    -Amps (If applicable)
    -Watts (If applicable)
    -Hertz (If applicable)
    At the moment I'm literally copying each entry manually. I can't request a spreadsheet from them, and as you'll see from the website, it's extremely difficult to get these thousands of entries manually. The individual certificates cannot be opened in a new
    tab, let alone copied efficiently.
    So my question to you: is there a way I can create some sort of macro to take the details from the page? What avenues can I take to get there?
    Please note that the Department of Fair Trading is aware of and allows these ventures.
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    Apologies, 'name' referred to the 'Certificate Holder' field.
    Fields should be as below. I'm currently extracting the 'Description' field from each individual certificate, along with the inputs and outputs. The rest is copied then reformatted to suit the current spreadsheet, as it is available on the search page.
    Certificate Holder
    Cert. Number
    Cert. Date
    End Date

  • 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.

  • Downloaded office 365 and associated apps onto ipad mini.  How come some excel spreadsheets will not open?

    Some excel spreadsheets attached to my emails will not open on ipad.  I have the excel app with 365 subscription.

    Can you open them in the mail app itself? If you can't open them in the mail app, my assumption would be that they were not properly saved, named or they are just corrupt file. Files with the .xls or .xlsx extension that are properly formatted Excel files, should open in the mail app without the need for any other app. If you want to save and edit the files, then you need a compatible app in which to save them.

  • 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?

  • Excel spreadsheet being opened in preview mode by some machines

    I would really appreciate it if someone could help with a problem that is confusing me.
    I am developing an Excel spreadsheet containing a number of macros that are actioned mainly through the use of an ADD-INS customised menu.
    The spreadsheet has been deployed across about twenty systems running a mixture of mainly windows 7 64 bit machines with Office 2010 or 2013 installed.
    For several weeks each spreadsheet has been updated periodically as new functionality has been added. This has not been a problem until now.
    Some, but not all, when they try and open the new version of the spreadsheet get an error 'Application-defined or object-defined error' a number of machines experienced this same problem all at the same time, but not all.
    I have ruled out it being an Office version number problem because in both 2010 and 2013, some work some don't.
    I can reproduce the exact same problem on the machines that don't have the problem by opening the spreadsheet in preview mode.
    I can find nothing that is forcing the problem machines to open the spreadsheet in preview mode and the difference between the previous version of the spreadsheet and the latest version are relatively minor, but the previous version works and the latest version
    causes some machines to throw an error.
    The section of code that is being highlighted is checking the sheet protection, I have isolated the code and inserted it into a test excel file and it works fine on the machines that are experiencing the problem, so it doesn't seem to be a coding problem.
    I feel that I have effectively ruled out any problem with the code itself and so instead concentrated on it being a "preview" mode problem.
    I found that if I opened the new version up on the problem machine and applied a self digital certificate to the VBA code and saved it locally then I could get the problem machine to open the new version without an error.
    I can't see any need for doing this though, there is no digital certificate on the original spreadsheet and when I isolated the highlighted code I was able to create a spreadsheet on the same development machine and send it over to a 'problem' machine and that
    spreadsheet opened and ran just fine.
    I am therefore now very confused. This latest version of the spreadsheet is being opened by let's say 50% of the machines in what appears to be preview mode. The machines are all part of the same network and I have checked that they all have the latest Windows
    updates applied and all have the same Excel options settings.  
    I have checked the security levels and all the machines seem to be set up the same.
    I have doubled checked and there is no digital certificate on the original spreadsheet.
    I need it to work the way it did before, i.e. each computer receives a new version and can open it without any messing around.
    The new version is copied from a networked folder so I have been able to rule out any Outlook security messages to do with email attachments.
    Can anyone shed any light as to what could be going on? 
    Why are some machines opening this particular spreadsheet up differently to every other spreadsheet?
    As it suddenly happened across multiple machines at the same time I was looking at possible Windows updates causing the problem but I have applied all the window updates to two machines and one works and the other doesn't.
    I'm running out of ideas.

    Hi Jeffrey
    >> Excel spreadsheet being opened in preview mode by some machines
    >>>Is it caused by the custom code, could you reproduce this issue without the custom code?
    I can't seem to isolate the code to cause the problem, when I isolate the code it works.
    >> New version of the spreadsheet get an error 'Application-defined or object-defined error' a number of machines experienced this same problem all at the same time
    I>>>’m not sure whether it was caused by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-082.
    >>>Here is a KB for your reference: KB3025036
    I have had this problem but managed to resolve that by deleting the .exd files.
    >> However it is still a problem for the first machine that experienced the problem, even though the Windows Updates are wholly up to date.
    >>>Currently, I’m not able to identify the root cause of this issue, but if this issue could only be reproduced on a specific machine, I will suspect this issue is related to a specific environment. If this is an urgent issue, I will recommend you
    creating a support incident so that the engineers could work closely with you to troubleshoot this issue in a deep level, if the support engineer determines that the issue is the result of a bug the service request will be a no-charge case and you won't be
    charged.
    I have now installed the same spreadsheet on 20 machines.  
    15 - installed without any problem,
    3 - experienced the problem but then mysteriously worked a few days later without me doing anything other than trying again.
    1 - worked only after I digitally certified the VBA on the local machine,
    1  - I can't get it to work at all no matter what I do. (Edit the VBA locally, digitally certify the code etc)
    I have another 4 machines that need to be done.
    For the 1 that I can not get to work at all I have checked that all the windows Updates have been applied. It is a relatively new desktop PC running Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2013.
    Does any of that suggest a possible cause? To me it almost suggest a windows update is resolving the problem but if it is it is proving difficult to pin down as to which one.

  • How to search through an excel spreadsheet for a number based on restrictions that you input as a user and print them out?

    Hi there guys
    I'm trying to write a labview program and i'm new to the program. I need the program done asap. First the user inputs the row number and then based on the row number it opens and reads an excel spreadsheet file which is just a table and it outputs the numbers corresponding to the column I ask for. How do I go about doing that? I saved the file as a .lvm so Labview could read it. Its a project for school and I have no idea how to start it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks guys a lot 

    Ummm... what file did you save as .lvm, and what does this have to do with an Excel file? To read/write Excel files you need to use ActiveX. There are a couple of shipping examples on how to do this in LabVIEW. Plus, this has been asked like a zillion times, so there's tons of examples in this forum if you just do a search. Plus, there's an Excel thread that has lots more examples.

  • InDesign CS3 Color Printing Incorrectly - Please Help!

    I purchased Creative Suite 3. When I print photos in Indesign, the colors do not print accurately. It looks liked I smeared orange sherbet all over the photo. I still have InDesign CS on the computer and I did a test print and the color is fine. I tried reinstalling CS3 Suite and the same things occurs. Any thoughts?

    This is probably a color management issue.
    Color management was off by default in CS, and is on for later versions. Unless you've calibrated your monitor and embedded profiles in your images, I suspect that what you are getting from either program is hit-or-miss and may not resemble the "real" color in the image file, particularly if there is no accurate profile for your printer.
    Painful as it is to say, the best thing you can do is go to the library or bookstore and get a book. I highly recommend Real World Color Management as the easiest to understand resource I've seen.

  • How do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode

    Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
    We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
    We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
    As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
    We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
    Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
    We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
    We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
    For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
    Can you please advise?

    HI MIKE
    Thanks again for your reply and your help with this.
    I've downloaded the barcode font from the link you supplied.
    I've tried three tests - and seem much closer to getting what we need. But I've come up against a couple of issues.
    TEST 1 - almost just to see if the downloaded font worked, I simply data merged our source csv file and applied the downloaded barcode font to the serial number in ID. Probably unsurprisingly, this produced a perfectly printed barcode - that wouldn't scan.
    TEST 2 - I manually added asterisks before and after the serial number in the first couple of fields and then tried the same process as TEST 1. It produced a perfectly printed barcode which this time DID scan correctly - but obviously the barcode had asterisks on it which I don't want. I just want the serial number. And with thousands of serial numbers we need the addition of the asterisks to happen automatically (which is where your text editor process seems the perfect solution, if we could get that to work).
    TEST 3 - Noting your comments about using parenthesis around the serial number, I followed your example of (123456). But Excel won't let me type a parenthesis. It lets me type the parenthesis but then instantly substitutes it with a - (hyphen) before the number in the actual serial number cell and no character at all after the number.
    If you have any suggestions or solutions for any of the above they'd be gratefully received! Thanks again for all your help with this.
    Kind regards
    Rob
