help! printing locks up excel

[pywhacket]

Hello, I have a workbook that contains several macros and many formulas. It
works beautifully until I try to print or do a print preview. Then it locks
up excel and I have to restart. Any ideas about what is causing this?

Thanks!

Hi pywhacket

The first thing to check is that your printer driver is up-to-date. I
believe that the Print Preview is 'managed' by the printer driver, as the
print is, of course!

Andy,

My print driver is up-to-date. I have also gotten other people to try it -
same problem for all.

What happens if you try to print another, simpler sheet? This should
determine whether the macros may be affecting the printing.

OK. I've never had a sheet not print because there were too many formulas on
it, so I would say that one of your macros is to blame.
Try setting your macro security to High, then opening the sheet and
printing. Does that change anything?

It still locks up when the macro security is set to high.

Did you say 'No' to the 'Enable Macros?' question when you opened the sheet?

OK. The next thing to try is renaming your excel.xlb. Close Excel and do a
search for it on your PC and rename it to excel.xlbold (or similar). I know
that this has caused printing problems in the past with some users. Excel
will recreate an xlb file when you restart the program.

Try starting Excel in safe mode. From Start/Run . . . browse to Excel.exe
(probably in C:\program files\microsoft office\office). Select is and before
you click OK add /s to the end (so it ends excel.exe /s).
The next step after that is to reregister Excel with Windows Registry, which
means you need to run "Excel.exe /unregserver" and then "Excel.exe
/regserver" from the run line in the same way as before (with its path).
