Opening Excel 98 workbook into Excel X (mac)-can edit, but won't print (blank sheets print)

[Janie Knieper]

I recently moved from Excel 98 for the mac to Excel for mac OS X. One
particular workbook I can open, edit and save, but it won't print.
One printer (HP 5510 all-in-one) I tried printed the document as blank
pages. The other two laserprinters I tried wouldn't print the
document at all. Print Preview shows blank pages. I tried doing a
save as, etc. The only solution I found was to open Classic and then
open Excel 98, open the workbook and then it printed. Any ideas about
how to get it to print in Excel for OS X?

have you applied the 10.1.6 updater, found at MacTopia?

I seem to recall I had this problem at one time, and the solution then
was to change printer resolutions from Normal to High in the Print
dialog. However, I believe a fairly early update fixed this.

Thank you for your help. Someone else installed Office X so they may
not have installed the updater. I'll try that. Thanks, Janie
