After installing my new HP laserjet 3380 printer, I immdeiately began having problems with MS Excel 5.0c. First, I could not print in "landscape" layout. Second, Excel began to frequently crash. When I tried to save my work or print a spreadsheet, I would GET the following error message: "Excel caused a General Protection Fault in module [emailprotected] Choose close. Excel will close." I had to reenter data and try to save it piecemeal until the problem would reoccur. I tried to adjust the compatibility of Excel with Windows XP, but the problem continued. Then I used the restore function to reset the system to the day before I installed my HP Laserjet printer. Now everything works fine with Excel, but I have no printer. How do I reinstall my printer WITHOUT causing the problem again?
Check HP's website for updated drivers and install those.Excel 5 was released in 1993. You are lucky it even works at all with WinXP.Guess I should have read the original post BETTER.
Excel 5.0 on Windows XP with a newer printer? Excel 5.0 is notorious for failing under these circumstances.

You either need to update your Excel or relegate your printer to using an old driver like HP Laserjet Series II.
