Excel sheets not printing - everything else does!

I have a strange issue with excel sheets not printing although everything else I send to the printer is fine. I am running OS X El Capitan and Excel for Mac 2011. I had upgraded MS Office to the latest version but was having significant issues with conflicts with El Capitan so rolled it back to 2011. EVERYTHING else that I print is fine, word docs, pdfs, but the Excel files don't appear. They go through the print spooler but nothing actually hits the printer.

For the first time in my life, I'm so frustrated with Mac that I'm considering a PC [shudder].

Anybody else had this issue???

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), MS Office 2011

Hi, axle1001.

I am sorry to see you are frustrated with this issue and hopefully we can point you in the right direction to help resolve this. I understand that you are unable to print Microsoft Excel documents via your Mac. Since all other programs print without issue, you have isolated this printing issue to be with Excel specifically. Here is a helpful troubleshooting resource available directly from Microsoft that I would like you to start with.

How to troubleshoot print failures in Word for Mac, Excel for Mac, or PowerPoint for Mac

Please let me know the outcome of going through these steps.
