Archived from groups: microsoft>public>excel>printing (more info?)

Printing to network (NAS) printer works with all Office 2007 programmes
except Excel, which will preview a sheet but no printout occurs. No document
appears in print queue. OS is Vista Ultimate with all updates installed.

If I use Excel 2003 on another PC, under XP Professional, sheet will print.

Does anyone have any suggestions,

Thanks,

Mike.

The NAS is a Buffalo Linkstation Live and searching their site shows that
there might be a compatability problem with Vista. A patch exists, but it is
applied to Vista & lowers its security levels & there is no guarantee that
it'll solve this peculiar print issue.

I've "cured" the problem meantime until something else comes along by moving
the printer to an old XP desktop machine & sharing it to the network.

Yet another annoying little computer quirk...

Mike.

Same problem with a Netgear ReadyNAS. Everything prints but excel files.

If I pick up the Excel 2007 file with Excel 2003 with the compatibility pack
installed, on XP, prints fine.

Go figure...
