I have the same problem. Text in color is not printing, background etc.
prints in color. In Word text is printing in color. I'm be curious about the
solution.

I also have the same problem. My computer support has been trying to two
days to figure it out. The print preview shows black and white, and text
prints in black and white, but cell background color and jpeg images that are
inserted into the spreadsheet will print in color. We are about to
re-install Office from the cd to see if this fixes the problem.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks

Yes, We did not check the Draft quality under Black and white. We tried to
print in Xerox color also.

I don't have the option for "Draft Quality". I'm printing to a color printer
(Xerox machine) and the Color box has been checked (print function). If I
convert this document to Adobe, it prints in the correct color, however I
cannot get it to print out of Excel correctly. (where the text itself is in
color). Thanks -

Have you unchecked "Draft Quality" just below "Black and White"?

Check these:
1) File | Page Setup; open Sheet tab; look for Print .. Black & White
(middle, left of dialog)
2) File | Print ; open printer properties and see if you have set it to
print in greyscale

I have colored text in my Excel spreadsheet, however it will not print in
color. The shaded cells print ok and I'm only printing one spreadsheet on
one tab (not a group of worksheets). Even print preview is in black and
white.
