Windows 10: Printing a Document

Whenever I try to print, whether it be from an email, a pdf, or a word document, after proceeding from a print preview, I am asked to save my document to a file. After having named and saved the document, that window closes, and when I then attempt to print, I am again asked to save the document to a file. Over and over, I get nowhere. I can't even do a ctrl P

Unable to print Excel documents on Windows 10.

Hello Gifford,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



From the above description, I understand you are unable to print Excel documents on the computer running Windows 10.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Did you check if you are able to print other system documents or webpages using the printer?
• Did you check if the printer is visible under Devices and Printers?

You will be able to print documents and web pages from the Printer if the device is online or showing working status under
Devices and Printers.



If haven’t tried, I suggest you to check if you are able to print documents other than Excel documents or webpages using the printer.



Also check if the printer is listed under Devices and Printers
by following the steps below:

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Devices and Drivers and select the top most search result.
• Under Printers, check if the printer you are trying to print from is listed.
• If yes, print a test Excel document and check if the device works.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.
