CAUSE
This problem occurs when there are no printer drivers installed on your computer. Microsoft Excel cannot set or get page setup properties if no printer drivers are installed.
RESOLUTION
To prevent this problem from occurring, install a printer driver on your computer. Use the Printers option in Control Panel to add and remove printer drivers.

If you click Page Setup on the File menu when no printer drivers are installed, you receive the following error message:
Just as you cannot access the Page Setup dialog box in this case, you cannot access the properties in the dialog box programmatically.
