Excel 2003 won't print in colour!

Domo · 23 Jan 2008 at 14:27

I can print in colour from Word and everything else fine. I've checked the sheet tab under page settings and neither draft or b/w are ticked.

Even print preview shows in b/w?

This only occurs in Excel. And I am printing to the same printer.

Any ideas?

Office 2003 Pro on XP SP2.

If you go to File --> Print --> Properties there is, or at least i have, an option to print in black and white.

This is frustrating, I've had the same problem at work and fixed it!! If you've checked all the page setup, print options etc and still prints black and white then its an accessibility option or something totally random like that......I can't remember exactly right now

EDIT: (un)check Control Panel-->Accessibility Options-->Display-->High Contrast

Nossmayo - already checked all that :-)

MTA99 - checked Accessibilty Options and that's unticked.

Its just you only mentioned checking the b/w sheet settings but not the printer settings (within Excel....)
