After upgrading several PC 's to Office 2003 we are having a printing problem
in Excel. The user will print several print outs and all of a sudden they can
no longer print. So far the only fix has been to change to a different
printer or reinstall the printer. Then they will be able to print a few more
sheets before it stops again. This is only happening in Excel. Word will
print fine all day long with no problems. All the printer drivers have been
updated. Has anyone else experinced this issue or know of a solution? The Os
are XP,and Windows 2000 Pro versions. The previous Office was 2000.

First, I don't have any ideas...

But have you spoken to your IT folks to see if it's a network problem. Maybe
it's just coincidence and your print jobs are hitting a bad spooler.

Have you checked the printer manufacturer's web site. Sometimes they have FAQ's
and KB's of their own.

We're having the same problem after upgrading to 2003. Do you find a
fix for this?
