Excel 2004 border printing issues

I am running Microsoft Excel 2004 11.3.7 on a mac under OS 10.5.1.
What I am having difficulty with is printing the upper border of cells
in the top row of my worksheet. The sheet is fairly complex with
merged cells and borders but no unusual borderline colors,
thicknesses, background colors. I have tried creating a border around
a separate blank cell in the top row and the upper border is also
clipped. I tried inserting a blank row at the top of the worksheet and
again the upper boarder is clipped, though the print does begin 1 row
down the page.

I created a new workbook and put a border around a cell in the top row
and this border prints appropriately!

This leads me to believe I must have some problem with the formatting
of my document, borders, cells, background or printing of my workbook.
My workbook has several sheets and I have the same problem with each
of the sheets. I created a new blank sheet and put a border around a
top row cell and this prints fine!

I am at a total loss and would appreciate any insight from anyone.

Since you're presumably using the same print driver for both workbooks,
the only thing I can suggest is go to File/Page Setup, and in the Page
tab, change the Print quality setting to see if that makes a difference.
