    If I may add my opinion too.

    Believe that Patrck's PDF bypass can work around the problem.

    But as it looks in the picture, it can be in the wrong print area.

     

    Go to the page layout

    Cancel print area

    Select the print area in the worksheet

    (select with the mouse button held down - area turns gray)

    Go back to the page layout Pressure area Click on Select print area

     

    Should work.

     

    Greetings,

Click Page Setup. Has Print Quality been set to Draft?

    And on the Sheet tab of the Page Setup dialog, has the Draft Quality check box been ticked?

      No, it's unchecked.
