The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 3.0 and 4.0

SUMMARY

Graphical elements of a Microsoft Excel document may not print to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Paint Series printer (PaintWriter, PaintWriter XL, or PaintJet) that utilizes an outdated Hewlett-Packard driver. Elements that may not print include borders, patterns, shading, charts, pictures, and drawing objects. The result of this is a printout that contains text only.

MORE INFORMATION

The driver version for use with an HP Paint series printer is 3.0.7a or higher. Drivers for Hewlett-Packard printers can be obtained by calling the Hewlett-Packard distribution center at (303) 353-7650. This driver should resolve any printing problems within Microsoft Excel version 4.0 in either system 6.0.x or system 7.

To obtain additional information about printing to an HP Paint Series printer in Microsoft Excel version 3.0, please call Microsoft Product Support at (425) 635-7080.
