Printing behavoir changed PCL-PS printers   
Hi,

in KB Q305713 it sounds that excel recognizes the print-technology of the 
printer driver and decides wheter it has to scale or the printer can scale.

But my users have documents created with an PCL-based printer and now on the 
PS-driven printers the output differs in page breaks und cutted diagrams.

How do I force Excel to make scaling on his own (like it do when it's a PCL 
printer)? 

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
 Daniel

RE: Printing behavoir changed PCL-PS printers   
Excel uses the printer driver to "frame up" the page.  So a different printer 
(driver) can result in different results.  The most robust would be hard 
coded pagebreaks if they are not at the very edge of capacity (so they could 
get pushed over on another printer).  The other would be fit to pages - but 
only if that is appropriate and there could be some variation if it is more 
than one page.
