    Please show us a screenshot of the print dialog box that pops up when you try to print.

        The only thing I could recommend is to delete and reinstall the printer drivers.

        At the same time, I recommend performing a general Windows and Office update.
        if the problem still exists after that...
        I recommend starting in safe mode.
        if the problem still exists after that...
        Disable all add-ins and restart.

    As you have already been told, more details would be beneficial.

    Is it just a specific file?

    Which version of Excel or Office do you use?

    Which operating system are you using?

     

    Here is some information that might match your request.

    Troubleshoot why Word does not print

    This article describes how to diagnose print failures in Microsoft Word. It also explains how to isolate the cause of the print failure and how to resolve the issue.

    Examples of print failure include the following situations:

    • You receive error messages and other messages when you try to print a file.
    • The printer doesn't respond.
    • A file is printed as meaningless symbols.

     

    Hope the information can help you
