Jon,
I suggest that you boot into safe mode and remove the printer's) and any
software, drivers related to the printer.
Reboot
Check if the system runs normally by trying the excel problem you had.

If so you have pinpointed it. Check for issues with the print drivers.
Occasionally they have conflict issues and in the past HP has been very good
about working through them, although I have had one in years.
