I suspect this is a little used and poorly tested area of poi. It might be 
worth you producing three files:
* the closest to the print layout that you want, as produced by poi, that
   excel renders properly
* the same file, re-saved by poi with the print layout you want, which
   excel doesn't render correctly
* the same file, re-saved by excel with the print layout you want

Finally, use org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.BiffViewer to try to figure out what 
poi's doing differently to excel. Hopefully the poi fix will fall neatly 
out of that discovery :)
