HP LaserJet Printer Series and Multifunction Printers (MFPs) - Printing from Microsoft Excel: Printer Properties Settings Are Saved with Microsoft Excel File

• User A creates or opens an Excel workbook, makes changes within the Printer Properties dialog, and saves the workbook.
• User B has the same printer (driver) model set as default as User A.
• User B accesses the same Excel workbook that User A had saved.
• User B will now inherit the configuration settings that User A had defined within Printer Properties prior to saving the workbook. These configuration settings may differ from those default settings of User B.

note:

A common example of this issue is when User A has printed the Excel workbook as a stored job and saves the workbook. User B, again with the same default printer model as User A, opens the shared Excel workbook and prints it, is likely expecting the workbook to output directly to the printer. But instead the job was sent as a stored job with User A's credentials. From the perspective of User B, the job failed to print.
