Weird Excel issue that prints the third worksheet separately?

Client has an excel spreadsheet with approx. 30 tabs (worksheets).
Every 3 worksheets is specific to an employee's name.

Example:
sheet1 = employee1 name cover page
sheet 2 = employee1 profit/loss
sheet 3 = employee1 total revenue <-- culprit

For some reason when he tries to print to file (xps, pdf, etc.), and selects only active worksheets (3), it will ALWAYS print the third tab (total revenue) as a separate file so he's always getting 2 pdf files generated instead of one for every user. Sheet 3 is the culprit since if I move it between sheets 1 and 2, it will ask to be printed separately. If I duplicate sheet 3 five times, it will ask to be printed 5 times for each duplicated sheet that exists in the workbook.

AS A TEST:
If I copy the first 3 tabs to a new workbook and delete all the text and just put a number to correspond to each worksheet in A1 (#1, #2, #3), it still insists on printing worksheet "#3" separately. That tells me there is an issue with the code in that worksheet, but how do I check?
 
Make sure print settings for all ws are the same. Most likely the dpi setting for sheet 3 is different from the rest.
