You say you can get it to print correctly to a local printer... can you get it to print equally well as a DWF?  If so, from there you should be able to print it properly to any other printer or plotter.

I think there's way for resolve that by going to menu -> then edit -> then select paste special  -> then you have to select AutoCAD entries  before doing above steps you should go to excel sheet and make copy from your work]]> Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:14:00 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=9558&PID=24345&title=ole-not-plotting#24345 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=9558&PID=24336&title=ole-not-plotting#24336 Author: John Connor

Try inserting it is paper space instead.

I too tried AutoTable at one point but it did not do what I needed.  Did you look at the Readme file that came with the trial version?

Model space....Ya, I was looking for some 3rd party s/w and the one I found didn't work either (AutoTable)..at least I couldn't get the trial to work...

That's one of the reasons I avoid using OLE objects.  Unfortunately your version of AutoCAD is too old to have the Table > DataLink feature that came along in 2008. 

Is your table in model space or in paper space?

Yes it will print from excel just fine, whether I print the original or the embedded page (opened from CAD)...I'm trying to figure out the difference between inserting an OLE and just copying and pasting from excel into cad....is there any difference? It shows up on the print preview....it's like it's 'white' and thinks it's printing it...I tried selecting it and changing the color but no change...

And what happens if you print directly from Excel?  Does the spreadsheet print?

I've copy and pasted an excel (office 2003) page into an autocad 2004 drawing, as well as 'inserted' it as an OLE....either way, I can get it to print on my local printer, but not on a (2 different) network printer...it prints the drawing, just not the OLE....I cannot find any printer specific settings that would effect the contents of what's being printed...I'm sure it's something ridiculous....any ideas?]]> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 16:24:17 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=9558&PID=24328&title=ole-not-plotting#24328
