Default Fill Colour Prints as Grey

I have a spreadsheet where alternate rows have a fill colour to aid viewing
the correct lines. Although the colour shows fine in the spreadsheet itself
when I Print Preview, or Print the colour is gone and is replaced by a shade
of grey (i.e Light Green is a light grey, Green is a darker grey). This does
not occur on all spreadsheets as I have some that the fill colour prints
perfectly.

Any ideas

Default Fill Colour Prints as Grey

The only time I get this is with a true monochrome printer.
If I select a colour printer but on the Sheet tab of Page Setup I specify
black&white then all colours go (no greys)
Can it be a printer options that you have set?
best wishes

Hi Bernard

No. I get this in print preview before I select which printer to use; and
as I say I have other spreadsheets that the colour prints fine.
