    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?

    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.
