Excel: Print and Printer Setup Buttons Greyed in Page Setup

ID: Q82246

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel for Windows, if you bring up the Page Setup dialog box by using the button in the File Print dialog box, the "Print..." and "Printer Setup..." buttons will be grayed out (in version 4.0) or missing (in version 5.0). This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When already in the Print dialog, it is too late to change any of the printer settings via Printer Setup. As a result, this button is unavailable. Since the Page Setup dialog has been brought up from within the Print dialog, the Print button is unavailable; selecting OK in Page Setup will return you to the Print dialog box.

The Print and Printer Setup buttons will only be available if the Page Setup dialog is brought up by selecting Page Setup from the File menu.
