Have you marked on the page format, sheet tab, print grid enable?

Grid lines are different than border lines.
Border lines can be set up as you know for every cell,
but grid lines only can be set up to show all or not,
but not by cell.

There is an option about grid lines in Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice calc/View - Visual aids, on how see them while working with the spreadsheet.

Adding your file deleting personal information.
Now without print grid enable, and with borders on table cells.

After further investigation, looks as calc gives priority for print to the grid over cell's format and excel does it to the inverse, tested with Excel previewer, saving the sample as xlsx.

Also calc works different on the working layout than print preview.

So set up as new

I'm not clear: how is exactly hidden a selection of grid lines?
