MS Office X crashes on print

[crassusad44]

HELP!!! Everytime I try to print from a MS Office application, the app crashes (49 out of 50 times). It does not happen with other applications. I recently re-installed Office, and the problem dissappeared, but came back after a few days.

I have a couple of other machines with Office installed (on the same network), and they are not affected.

The system is PM G4 533 10.2.2 and Office 10.1.2.

Under is the last dump from Excel crashreporter:

Command: Microsoft Excel
PID: 4084

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x0b1e274c

Here is a dump from the console.log:

Nov 21 17:54:32 /Applications/Microsoft Office X/Microsoft Excel: *** Warning: ATSUMeasureText has been deprecated. Use ATSUGetUnjustifiedBounds instead. ***

What version of Excel is it? (obviously V.x, but have you installed the latest updates from M$?) If you haven't I highly suggest you do. They can be found at

or

As I stated in my first post, it's Office v.X version 10.1.2 and OS X 10.2.2, so, all the recent updates are in place...

 

[shadowfax0]

hmmm...have you tried deleting the preferences, or running fsck -y?

 

[Computer_Phreak]

i had this exact same problem...

first, tell me what type of printer do you have?

 

[crassusad44]

I've tried everything. Reinstalling the app. Trashing prefs. Running fsck -y. Diskwarrior 2. Everyting.

The printer is a network laser writer (HP 4050 series). Every other app works, except M$ Office apps...
