Ok so here is my problem: In excel 2003 i have a nice little spreadsheet. On screen and in the print preview everything looks perfect. But when i print it out, the numbers in the cells are overlapping across the grid lines. it doesnt look pretty and its not really very professional either. Does anyone have any ideas? if you need any more info let me know.

Does it happen with every font?
Are you using the TrueType fonts - indicated by TT when you select a font on the screen?
Perhaps something in the Print Setup would help?
When you do Print Preview, try the Options button, at which point some print properties of the printer might get connected correctly.

That said, I have no such problem with 2003, but in 2000 almost every font was failing with the exception of one which I don't recall. It was at work for different HP printers.

Thanks for the reply... yes it happens with all fonts. the main font is arial but i've tried other TT fonts and they have the same issue.
I tried your other suggestions and i'm still having the same problem..
