Subject: Excel 2.2 not printing with 1.3 ATM

I have been using Excel 2.2 for a while now, with 1.2 first and with 1.3
now. Since installing the OS/2 version 1.3 (with Adobe Type Manager)
Excel does no longer print. When I choose the print command, the print
dialog box appears, after choosing Ok, the Cancel-Box appears and it
begins spooling. The job appears in the Print Manager's queue and after a
while Excel finishes spooling and the Cancel-Box disappears, everything
without any error message. But the job hangs in the Print Manager's
queue and never starts printing. I have already tried to copy the
created spool file directly to LPT1 (I use an Epson LQ-500 24pin printer
with the driver supplied with OS/2 1.3), but it seems to be incomplete.
I assume that Excel aborted during printing because of an internal error
but issued no warning to the user.

Doe anyone have an idea what to do now?
