Explanation
Different print quality settings per worksheet will cause the creation of separate print files because Microsoft Excel is forced to create a new print job for every change in print quality.
NOTE: This behavior was not experienced with older versions of Microsoft Excel.
What to do
Make sure that all of the worksheets have the same print quality settings.
You can attempt to check each worksheet's Print quality setting via Page Setup to verify equivalent values. If this does not work as expected, click here to reference Microsoft's KnowledgeBase article regarding this topic.
