After I print a few sheets to a printer on our network I get "microsoft office excel is waiting for another application to complete an ole action". I press OK but a few sheets later it pops up again. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Does it happen with all printers or just that one?

Just that one (laser printer). My desktop printer works fine with the same sheet, but it's an inkjet. I haven't had any problems printing to that printer from other programs.

Is it only the one workbook that causes problems or all workbooks? It sounds like it might be a driver issue (Excel can be very sensitive to printer drivers, especially where charts are concerned).
