    Excel printing problem

    Hello,

    I am having a problem printing with Excel.

    We have some older Excel documents (Excel 97-2003 worksheets) and when we print from a Windows 7 computer in Excel 2003/2010 it prints each excel sheet full page.
    However if we print the same document from a Windows XP computer it prints normally i.e. the excel sheet just covers half the page.

    Any newly created Excel documents print fine in Win XP and Win7. Also if we copy the data from the older problem Excel sheets they print fine.
    I don't think this is a printer problem as have tested printing to different printers.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    It shows full page when in page break view but when you go to print preview it goes back to the document filling half the page.

    In Page Break preview excel will show the page boundary with blue line.

    Check the blue lines that is the indication about the printing area.

    I checked the page boundary in the file and it is the same for both in Win7 and WinXP.
    However when I then go to print preview is appears to make the excel rows double the size in Win7 and fills the whole page...strange.

    Re: Excel printing problem

    What option is selected while giving the print?

    Print Settings
    Print Active Sheets
    Print Entire Workbook
    Print Selection

    Have you checked the above setting on both the OS machines? Whether it is same on both or it differs?

    Both OS machines have the same settings selected - Print active worksheets.
