Excel printing problem

[sandy]

When I try to print 1 copy of my Excel spreadsheet, 2500 copies prin
instead. This does not happen in Word. The File Print function let
me select 1 copy, but when I hit OK to print, it begins a countdown, e
now printing 1 of 2500. I have restarted my computer and my printer.
I have not run diagnostics on the printer bc this problem only occur
when printing an Excel file. Please help

Does this happen when you print this particular workbook only or is it
for all excel files?

What add-ins are checked under tools>add-ins?

Perhaps it's printing 2500 pages, not 2500 copies. That could happen if
the used range is larger than it needs to be. There are instructions
here for resetting the used range:

Open the file you are trying to print, then click print preview, page break
mode, does it go on and on and on?

If so, go to view, normal, then file Print area, clear, then select the area
you want to print, select file print area select
