Thanks, Todd It has been reported on the OO-Forum that sometimes OO cannot see the printer after installation; whether this is due to 64 bit printer drivers not seeing the 32 bit application of OO is not known. It can help to uninstall the existing printer driver, verify that one has the latest drivers (check with printer manufacturer's site - don't rely on Windows to do this) and reinstall them. A workaround is to export the spreadsheet from OO in PDF format (/File /Export as PDF) and print the PDF file from whatever PDF viewer is installed on the computer. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

If there is no print range defined anywhere in a spreadsheet, OpenOffice will default to printing everything (not nothing). And if under "Print range" you see "none", then change it to "Entire sheet". You have no need to do that if there are no print ranges set on any sheet. Note that the print range setting defaults to "none" on all sheets (tabs), so it needs to be changed on all sheets needing to be printed. Again, that is not so: if there are no print ranges set anywhere, everything will print. The confusion arises only if there *is* a print range set somewhere. The effect of a print range or ranges is to determine that only material in a range is printed. So setting a print range on one sheet - perhaps to suppress the printing of some material on that sheet - will mean that everything on other sheets will no longer be included. (Users sometimes find this surprising.) If you need a print range anywhere, you need print ranges on all other sheets that you require to be printed. But the default of no print ranges anywhere prints everything and causes no problems.

You can change the rows and columns to repeat, if needed. But they will not prevent printing if empty and you probably don't want that for printing a form. Note that the print range setting defaults to "none" on all sheets (tabs), so it needs to be changed on all sheets needing to be printed. Changing it on one sheet will not change it for other sheets in the file. Also, make sure the printer is set: File > Printer settings and select the printer "Name" from the list. If you got the file from someone else, the default printer may be their printer name, not yours, so the print would go to a non-existent printer on your system. The selected printer is usually saved when the file is saved. HTH.

This is just in case a print range was inadvertently specified. Then, File > Print..., make certain the desired printer is selected and click Print. That should be all that's needed.
