low print quality on some documents not on others

[hairless ape]

I have a problem with some of my excel documents printing out very
light ... yet others with the exact same print settings on the exact
same printer with the exact same settings in page setup print out
perfectly dark and bold... is there some other little tweak somewhere
that affects the quality of printing within a particular document?

Are you sure you don't have the File/Page Setup/Sheet/Draft Quality
checkbox checked?

 

[hairless ape]

Yep... that box is unchecked. every setting I can find has it on high
quality and it is only one particular document... but it happens to be
a large document so I can't exactly just copy everything over to a new
blank document... some kind of strange voodoo

How about File>Page Setup>Sheet- Draft Quality?

Also, is the content formatted in color or is it set to Automatic... And if
Automatic, has there been any change to the OS default of black?

Draft quality is Unchecked... page is in black and white.... formatted
color set to automatic.... and default is set to black.

Draft quality is Unchecked... page is in black and white.... formatted
color set to automatic.... and default is set to black.

In addition to verifying all the print settings, on the offending machine
or document, set the print settings to something else, save and close the
document. Then reopen it, change the settings to the proper values and save
it again. Does it still fail?
