I have a check register file. My header use to look something like this:

Now it looks like this:

I'm only talking about the Font sizes, bold and underline for the Left and the Center headers. Ignore the values.
I read online to update my printer drivers, but if I open an older version of the file, it works, but the newer version doesn't work.
I have NO idea what changed and why the header is suddenly not working.

Here is my macro which has not changed between the 2 files..
The GREEN lines are trial and error attempts.

VBA Code:
Sub RegisterHeader()
'   Format Data in Header
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = ""
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader = ""
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = ""
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = ""
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = ""
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = ""

    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(1)
    
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = "&""Arial""&20" & "Printed on " & Format(Date, "m/d/yyyy") & " at " & Format(Time, "h:mm AM/PM") & _
    Chr$(10) & "&16" & "Closing: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H9").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & "Cleared: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H11").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & _
    Chr$(10) & "&14" & "W: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value, "$#,##0.00 ") & "D: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("E6").Value, "$#,##0.00")
    
'    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = "&""Arial""&20" & "Printed on " & Format(Date, "m/d/yyyy") & " at " & Format(Time, "h:mm AM/PM") & _
    Chr$(10) & "&12" & "Closing: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H9").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & _
    Chr$(10) & "&12" & "With: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & "Dep: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("E6").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & "Net: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H6").Value, "$#,##0.00   ")

    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader = "&""Arial""&B&I&U&24" & "Bank Check Register" & _
    Chr$(10) & "&B&I&U&20" & "Account: 1234-56789"

'    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "&""Arial""&20" & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("J1").Value, "$#,##0.00   ") & "    Page &P of &N   "
    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "&""Arial""&20" & "Page &P of &N   " & _
    Chr$(10) & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("J1").Value, "$#,##0.00   ")
    
'    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "&""Arial""&12" & _
    "Grand Total = " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("C28").Value, "$#,##0.00   ")
    
'    Application.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "&""Arial""&16" & "Withdrawals Total: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value, "- $#,##0.00   ") & "Deposits Total: " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("E6").Value, "$#,##0.00   ")
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
It sounds as if the new printer driver does not support the fonts used. But as your font is Ariel, that would be totally weird, as it is the most used font in the world. What happens if you make another printer your default printer?

I don't think it could be the printer driver, because I'll tell you why.
I have an older version of the same file, and without changing anything regarding the printer, the header works fine.
I compared the macro in the old file with the macro now, and it is identical.
In fact, just to make sure, I copied the macro from the older file into the newer file, and I'm still having this problem.

What happens when you rename the current report sheet and copy the old report sheet into this workbook? (Right click the sheet tab, move/copy, select workbook, tick make copy box)

I don't understand your question.
My current workbook is called Finances.xlsm, the sheet name is called checking.
The old workbook is called Finances-20240520.xlsm with the same worksheet name.

Finances-20240520.xlsm works fine. But that worksheet only has data up to 5/20/24.

What I meant was: copy a sheet (with the proper formatting) from Finances-20240520.xlsm into Finances.xlsm and run the macro on it. Does it then misbehave? And visa versa.

If so, then rebuild a new workbook using Finances-20240520.xlsm and copy the new data into it.
