Default Excel File different than what shows in Print Preview

Since I have gotten the new Laptop, the printout of the Excel file has not been printing out correctly.

Attached is the Excel Checkout file I get and then the Excel Checkout Print Preview file (This is just how it prints out) I think it has to be in the Excel and not sure who to ask how to print out the correct format?

I am able to print out another MS word files and an email just fine.

Possibly might be an error in your printer.

Please post your workbook for review. Do not include any confidential information.

Could it be an Office Excel 2021 printing bug?

I don't know of any other explanation but I see the spreadsheet is opened in Compatibility Mode so check that it saved in the latest xlsx format.

Unlikely. Far more likely to be a problem with the printer installation or configuration. The other possibility is a corrupt Calibri font - but then I'd expect problems with the displayed content, too.

Unlikely to be any help unless the workbook has some esoteric form of corruption that allows it to be opened and viewed correctly, but not to print correctly.

What made me think of it as a bug is that cell border lines have not been printed at all? Why would everything else print, albeit squashed together, but not border lines?

The 'squashed together' issue may be simply widening the columns but missing border lines is an odd one.

The most obvious indications of a problem with the printer installation or configuration are the lack of border lines and the reversion to what looks like Courier/Courier New. Uninstalling & reinstalling the printer driver may resolve that. If not, a repair of the Office installation might be required.

Tend to agree with Paul; new laptop - no printer installed yet?
jbstevens, what printer are you printing to?
