CAUSE

This problem occurs when the printer drivers are out of date or when there is a problem spooling the print file before printing the spreadsheet.

Print directly to the printer

This method lets you configure the printer so that you can print directly to the printer from all programs. This method causes the program to pause until the document has completed printing or downloading into the printer memory.
  1. Click Start, and then click Printer and Faxes.
  2. Right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Advance tab.
  4. Click Print directly to the printer, and then click OK.
Note Not all the printers can be set to Print directly to the printer. If the printer is shared from a print server, all the print files that are sent to this printer will be spooled.
