Envy 5530 wireless print does not print Excel spreadsheet gridlines properly.

Actually, we know about the "Best" option. Our complaint is that we want to get grid lines while using less ink with the "Draft" option (or whatever the lower-quality option is - I don't recall now, having turned in my HP). We (or at least I)  don't want to use up all the ink just to print practice or non-production graphs.

Problem Solved!!!!! Yay!!

Thank you!! This worked and I appreciate you posting the fix. I'm using Win7 with Excel 2013 and have been having this problem since purchasing an Envy 5530 a few months ago. It would print some of the gridlines but usually not all of the vertical lines. (Never had this prob with my old HP Photosmart)

I was replying to a prior post where the poster's daughter taught Excel to 8th graders... this worked for me: Highlight print area, right click, format cells, click outline & inside, Ok and then print.

Some of my gridlines were printing before but not all of the vertical ones and It had been driving me crazy for months... this worked!!

Finally a solution!  Many thanks for solving this problem for us.

No need for all the highlighting, formatting, clicking, etc.  Just print in Best Mode.

Hi

I bought an HP ENVY 5532 a couple of days ago.

I am having problems with printing gridlines in Excel.  Sometimes horizontal lines disappear and sometimes vertical lines appear.

This occurs whether I print via wifi AND by usb.

Can anyone offer a simple solution?

I had the same (and other) problems with my Envy 5530 and am the original auther of this thread.  The only solution offered was to upgrade the ink setting from "normal" to "best".  Good luck.

Hi

Yes, that worked, but of course its slower and uses more ink.

I'm new to this message board idea.  I thought I would post it as all the other messages having the problem related to printing via wifi.  As Ii had the same problem using USB I thought it might be useful.

Have had the same trouble . Use printer set at Best for grid lines on excel . Change back to normal for everything else . It otherwise just goes too fast for its own good .

Yup, this is what we are stuck with.  I junked my Envy 5530 and purchased a HP Officejet 5740 only to discover that printer HAS THE SAME PROBLEM!
