Excel Will Not Print

When I try to print an Excel spreadsheet or workbook I get an error:  Your file could not be printed due to an error on Printer on E0x.  This error occurs on every printer and every Excel document.

I've done everything the "experts" recommend-all the obvious and easy stuff available here and on the web.  I still cannot print any Excel documents.  My printers are usb and wifi connected.  Excel will not print to Adobe and will not create a pdf with MS pdf print option.  No printer works.

I repaired MS 365, both using the quick option and the online repair.  Nothing works.

Can I reinstall MS 365 without losing my Outlook data and emails?

How can I fix this?

    Take this for the printing issue:

     

    1. Check Printer Drivers: Ensure that your printer drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with Excel.
    2. Set Default Printer: Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, right-click your preferred printer, and select Set as Default Printer.
    3. Registry Editor Fix: Modify permissions in the Registry Editor:
      • Open Run (Windows + R), type regedit, and press Enter.
      • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows.
      • Right-click Windows, select Permissions, and ensure Full Control is enabled for your user account.
      • Restart your computer.
    4. Print Spooler Service: Restart the Print Spooler service:
      • Open Run, type services.msc, and press Enter.
      • Locate Print Spooler, right-click it, and select Restart.
    5. Excel Add-ins: Disable any third-party add-ins in Excel that might interfere with printing:
      • Go to File > Options > Add-ins.
      • Select COM Add-ins and click Go. Uncheck all add-ins and test printing again.

    Reinstall M365 without losing Outlook data:

     

    1. Backup Outlook Data: Export your Outlook data to a .pst file:
      • Open Outlook, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
      • Select Export to a file and choose .pst.
      • Save the file to a secure location.
    2. Uninstall and Reinstall MS 365:
      • Uninstall Microsoft 365 via Control Panel > Programs and Features.
      • Reinstall Microsoft 365.
    3. Restore Outlook Data: After reinstalling, import your .pst file:
      • Go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
      • Select Import from another program or file and choose your .pst file.
