Can't use excel
Ralphael1 <ambraja[ at ]aol.com> 11/4/2008 1:57:41 PM

I can't change some of the worksheet settings because these is no
printer connected to the computer.
Is there a way to get around this?

You should be able to add a printer driver (in control panel) even if
there is not a printer connected

Does not work for me. Computer cannot detect printer therefore driver
will not install.

Printers are not my area of expertise, but if you are using Windows XP
and use the Add Printer wizard, on the second screen select "local
printer" but not "automatically detect"; then you should be able to
select a port and printer type - it shouldn't matter that the printer
is not physically present.

You should have the internal excel problem. Without printer there is no any chance for problem in accessing the functions. -- sandypeter111
