    One excel file pages will not print, other Excel files print just fine

    I have one Excel file that I use daily that when printed from only gives blank pages. I can print the file to a pdf and then print the pdf just fine.

    What would cause just this file to have trouble printing?
    The print preview shows the page(s) to be printed but it only prints blanks.
    Is there a setting that may have been changed within this workbook? If so where is it located?

    Anyone have any idea what could have happened to my file to prevent it from printing what is shown in the print preview?

    I would upload the file, but it's my employee file with sensitive data in it. Not sure if a copy of the file with all the data removed will act the same.

    Yup, the sample attached below acts the same way....nothing but blank pages being spit out of the printer from this file too. Print Preiew shows the page as it should print, but it kicks out a blank sheet.

    Will someone take a look and see if they know what may cause this file to act this way?

    Ok it must be something goofy going on with this printer in my office.....why it will print other workbooks but not this one is just goofy.
    I searched our server here at work and found other printers online, sent the workbook to them and they print just fine.

    Still havent figured this out. I deleted the printer and then added it back using a new printer driver. No change. I did notice that when it starts to print, it was trying to print a huge font, many times larger than what is on the document. When i select a different printer it prints correctly. However this printer that is acting up on this one workbook, doesn't have any problems printing any other workbook.
