Excel 2000 Printing - No Borders

[Jessica Trail]

I have Excel 2000 on my computer and when I print a file
with lines or borders, they don't show up - text only!
I've gone through all of the trouble shooting, I have the
same settings as everyone else on my network, and the
files I create on my computer print out fine on other
people's computers.

Can anyone think of what might be wrong? Please help! I
would really appreciate it.

Hi Jessica,
Perhaps remind us what "I've gone through all of the trouble shooting"
really means..

A Google search: xl site:support.microsoft.com borders not printing

didn't turn up anything specific just that you might want to make sure
you've installed the latest service pack for Excel.

A Google Groups (newsgroups) search:
missing gridlines print group:*Excel*

Turns up reminders that cell color or border color wipes out gridlines,
but you say it works on other machines. Try using black borders
anyway to make sure -- black just in case black is the only ink not
dried up in a color printer.

It could be a printer driver problem. Also check the print resolution.
If you have a draft mode you may very well be missing gridlines.

What kind of printer, what operating system, already know you
have Excel 2000 but not what Service pack.

I have Excel 2000 SP-3
in Excel HELP, About, I see
Microsoft(R) Excel 2000 (9.09.6926 SP-3)
you might check your machine and the other machines
and if the other machines have the same printer.

I've asked the computer for help, but I didn't really
find anything that involved it not printing the borders.
More so, it was asking me to make sure that I had black
borders and the right margins, etc.

I am using Excel 2000 SP-3 on XP with an HP Color Laser
Jet 4550 PCL 5c printer. The borders I am using are
black.

All of the other machines are printing to the same
printer. How would I know if it was a printer driver
problem and how would I fix that?

Thanks for the feedback so far - I would definitely
appreciate more!

I don't have a guess about your problem, but the way I test to see if it's a
printer driver issue is to get a new version (or a fresh version) and delete the
old driver, and add a new one.

(don't delete the old one until you find the new one, though.)

Then test it out.

If it printed ok, then that was the problem.

I tried that and it didn't work. Anyone have any other
ideas?

Your document is probably set to draft quality. Draft quality will wipe out borders and colors. Change this in Page Setup: Sheet tab. See http://mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/gridline.htm for more information.
