    Excel app works on notebook, but not desktop

    I don't know where to start on this problem. I have an Excel app that reads data files, fills in columns from the files, then draws a line chart. It works fine on my Notebook, but it no longer works on my Desktop. On the Desktop the chart comes up as a tiny unreadable chart in the center of the screen. The Notebook is running Excel from Office 2013, the Desktop is running Office 360. The Excel .xlsm file and the data files are on on OneDrive, so both computers are looking at the same program and data. I tried copying the .xlsm file to my Desktop, but I get the same results.

    Quit looking... I FOUND IT!!!

    I Googled "Excel chart too small" and the first hit I got led to to a forum where someone else had the same problem. Of all things it was the Default Printer! Somehow it got set to a .pdf printer. I reset it to a real printer and the problem was fixed

    FWIW, the default printer had been set to "PDFsam Enhanced 7". I believe that was an included trial version of PDFsam which was no longer on my computer.
