Excel 2000 missing a installed Printer

by rkreuzburg . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

The client has a NT 4.0 WS with sp6a installed. There are 2 printers installed on this workstation, a HP Laserjet 4 and a HP 1100. Both printers will work in Word 2000 but only one appears as a option to print to in Excel 2000.
The problem printer also cannot be set as the default printer. I have tried removing the printer from the registry. Making sure I have a win.ini file with the correct device listing. Re-installing Office 2000. Nothing seems to work. Im convinced its a system printer problem because of not being able to set it as a default printer, but if that install was corrupt why does Word pick it up and use it fine while Excel ignores it?
