Summary:

When using version 1.331 of the NEC 24 Pin Printer driver from NEC with Excel 3.00, an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) will be generated when choosing Page Setup from Excel’s File menu.

Note: The Print Preview function of Excel functions correctly with this printer.

There is a new driver available from NEC that corrects this problem. The new driver is version 1.360 and is available from two NEC sources. This is not the final version of the driver and another update will be made.

More Information:

The driver that causes the problem in Excel 3.00 is:

This driver should be replaced with the following:

1.360 NECPNSER.DRV 214,832K 01/23/91

The driver size and date may change, but the date should be no earlier than 01/23/91.
