problem printing 'Selection' in excel

Hi I'm focusing a problem when I print a excel sheet with 'Selection'.

Details:

create a sheet with horizontally elongated dataset, for example 30 x 50 (A1 to AX30)

select 30 x 15 (A1 to O30) celles

select print and check: 'Print: Selection' and 'Scales to fit'

print

The above procedure gives me very small print of selected cells.

It seems print is small so that entire sheet can fit to a paper.

I think this is a bug and hope to be fixed soon.

Please check if this happens to you.

Or if I'm doing something wrong, let me know...

OS: macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.4

Excel: Microsoft Excel for Mac Version 16.12 (180410)

Printer: FX DocuPrint C4000 d v3018.103 PS H2 (driver)

p.s.

It worked perfectly until some days ago.

It might be related update of OS or Excel.

See if it helps to:

  1. Select the range to be printed
  2. Go to File> Print Area> Set Print Area
  3. Then print using the same specs you cited
