Whenever I print an Excel worksheet the lines are squiggly. And some of the numbers on the sheet are smeared-like.
Only happens on Excel sheets.
Does anyone know how I can fix the lines to print straight?
Thank you!

Are you printing in Draft Mode ? If so, switch to Normal and try that.

I've been supporting Excel for over 15 years and can't say I've seen such a ting. Can you take a cellphone pic and share?

It is a printer thing, not an Excel thing. Same can happen in any application where printout has straight lines close together. Especially in "Fast Draft" print mode.

reed303, I do agree. After some searching I did find its a printer problem. I have a Canon printer. I can't find any Fast Draft print mode anywhere. Can you tell me where it is? Thank you all, your answers have helped me.

What website do you all use to store images? I use to use Photo Bucket but it's become...er...complicated to me.

I looked, thanks for the info and I'm not printing Draft Quality. I haven't changed any settings that I can think of.

OK then you may want to look at Canon's Support web site.

Depending on your specific model, this link might be a start:

I did post the question in the Canon forums.
I did align and clean everything I could on the printer.
It's still printing squiggley.
Thank you for your help!

Have you tried looking for a newer driver?
If you are using the latest and the problem never occurred before, then I suggest uninstalling the existing one and re-installing it.
