Some horizontal gridlines missing when printing from Excel in draft mode

[Dataczarina]

I just replaced my trusty HP Officejet 6700 with an Envy Pro 6455.  In Excel 2010 draft print mode, all the grid lines in Excel files won't print.  About every alternate one actually prints, although print preview shows no problems.  The problem is "solved" by switching to normal print mode but to my mind that's not a solution, only a way to use more ink.  My OfficeJet didn't have this problem so I assume it's an evolving HP "feature"  (read:  problem).  I've looked at all the archived workarounds but none work. Any other solutions welcome.

4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
