I am trying to resolve a issue with excel 2003 not using
the local users printer mailbox preferences when printing
a file from a different user.
My setup is as follows
Printer: HP LJ 8150 w/ Mailbox attachment
Driver version: 0.24
System 1: Windows XP SP2
Office 2003 SP1
Printer set to Mailbox 6
System 2: Windows XP SP2
Office 2003 SP1
Printer set to Mailbox 3
My Test is as follows. I createa sprreadsheet on system 1
and set the priter to print to mailbox 6. I then save the
file on a mpped drive. I then open the file from the same
mapped drive on System 2 and select print. The file prints
to mailbox 6 and not mailbox 3.
According to the documentation for Office 2003 SP1 this
issue as described here:
"When you send an Excel 2003 workbook to another user
account in an e-mail message or store the file on a
network share with the print settings set to print to your
mailbox or to a local printer with specialized settings,
these settings may still be in effect for the other users.
If they print the workbook, it may either print to your
mailbox (not theirs), or it may try to print by using
certain settings for your local printer."
As demonstrated in my test, the file retains the print
settings rom the first system. Is anyone else have this
issue after installing Office 2003 SP1 and has anybocy
found a soulution to the issue?
