Excel won't print more than one copy

Friends,

I just downloaded MS Office 365 for Mac. Excel will not let me print more than one copy of a spreadsheet. I spent time on the phone with Canon trying to resolve the issue (I have Canon printers). It is not a Canon issue (they said). Note: I can print as many copies as I want from Word documents. Also, I had no issue with printing multiple copies from Excel Office 2016 for Mac on my older MacBook. The issue seems to be with 365.

On another note: Word 365 messed up a nearly 300 page document I opened from Office 2016. The pagination (formatting or something) is all different. Which, wouldn't be a problem, except that I'm still printing section by section as we go through it and now the page numbers don't align). Though, I can print as many copies as I want, even from this document - just not from Excel.

    As a possible workaround, try this...

    In the Print dialog open the Presets list, select Last Used Settings then open it again & select Default Settings.. See if the number of copies returns to 1 which then can be adjusted.

    Hi

    Microsoft does not make the printer driver or its preferences. The printer driver is made by the printer manufacturer using Apple's developer tools.

    Hi

    What other brand and model is involved on which version of Mac OS and which version of Excel? Why didn't you share this information?

    So far it's always been Cannon.

    Since the issue involves only Cannon printers, it is likely a problem that Cannon and Apple will have to solve.

    Brian, did you see DazzyP69's reply?

    The location of the workbook may be a factor. Make sure it's in the Mac OS Documents folder. Make sure there are no special characters such as mathematical operators, slashes, etc. in the file name or in any sheet tab name.
