A fairly simple way to do this is;

1. When you are ready to print(but do not print), save your document as a
..CSV file. This save all the data without any formatting.
2. Close all files in excel.
3. Open the .CSV file you just created with Excel, setup your printing
preferences and print.

Not sure what your reply meant, but I guess it's some formula. I am not that diverse in excel so I am sure what I need to do. Thanks.
