I have a spreadsheet which makes extensive use of colour for ease of user input. A selected area of the sheet has to be printed and to do this I use a macro assigned to a button which selects the relevant cells and queues them to the printer. This is the code in the macro.

Sheets("sheetname").Select
Range("A1:I60").Select
Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True

Is it possible to include something in that code which would ensure that the output prints in black and white or greyscale and not in colour?

Any help welcomed.

This should work, however I didn't elect to waste a sheet of paper...
With Sheets("sheetname")
.PageSetup.BlackAndWhite = True
.Range("A1:I60").PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End With
