May I ask a few questions to confirm my understanding?
User

sure
Excelchat Expert

how many columns of data are you trying to print?
User

the reason I am asking is becausea worksheet can have multiple print areas. Each print area will print as a separate page.
User

There are two columns of emails, all the other info prints except the email address
Excelchat Expert

Please select the cells that you want to define as the print area. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Print Area, and then click Set Print Area.

To see all the print areas to make sure they’re the ones you want, click View > Page Break Preview in the Workbook Views group. When you save your workbook, the print area is saved too.

viewing the page break preview will also help confirm if the email addresses are included in the print area
Excelchat Expert

User

User

I tried to change all the emails so they weren't hyperlinks but that didn't seem to make a difference

when you select view and Page break view, do you see columns in one sheet?
User
15/08/2018 - 09:09
Yes all the columns are on one sheet. The area is gray (selected) with Page 1 behind it all
Excelchat Expert

if you see a dotted line before your email ID columns, they you will need to move it to include the columns with email ID columns
User
15/08/2018 - 09:11
There are no dotted lines
