Excel printing strangeness

[pudder]

I've got a weird issue when printing from excel at work.

When printing anything from excel, every other page is rotated by 90 degrees.
If the document is set as portrait, then first page will be printed as portrait, but the second page is rotated and squeezed onto a landscape page. Third page will be portrait, fourth landscape etc etc.

- Affects all our XP machines running Office 2003
- Appeared after our XP machines were cut off from the network
- Persists through reboots
- Affects all tested documents, including those created years ago, and brand new files
- Only occurs on a specific printer - HP LaserJet 5200 PCL 6 (Network printer)
- Printing to other printers or PDF works fine
- Doesn't affect Word
- Windows 7 machines with Excel 2013 print fine to the affected printer

I'm thinking maybe drivers are stored on the network, which we no longer have access to..
Our XP machines were cut off from the internal network due to security issues, but there must still be some connectivity, as all printers on the network are still visible.

Confused

Install as a new printer (with u0 to date driver not a generic driver) locally on to affected xp pcs and test.

Sounds like a driver issue.

"All our XP machines"?

Crikey. This is not going to end well.

Are you the NHS?

Aside from PCs being on a network they've been disconnected from, have you tried the HP Universal driver?

I've just replied to a post regarding scart cables.

Now it's xp and 2003, wtf.

I've just spent last week looking at Windows 10 enterprise with the lack of Dell availability with sky lake processors.
