Yes this sounds slightly familiar to my current excel problem which is the fact
that it refuses to be wysiwyg (even print preview).
I guess the screen is using typefaces that the printer can't do (its a citizen
HQP-45 playing being an Epson LQ1000). First I would check the Printer Fonts
box, then I would do a printer setup, then I would select another printer
driver and then come back to the initial one. If none of these worked I would
be stumped and just try another font.

p.s. in my scenario the text fits in a cell on the screen but not on the
printer or even when paste-linked into wfw.
