No printing of b/w designated cell patterns

Excel 2003 Pro. (PC Windows XP), Format/cell/PATTERN item selection
completed for desired cells.
Such patterns appear as desired on MONITOR, but DO NOT Print on laser
printers.
Printer has over 256 memory installed. Printer fails to reproduce desired
patterned cells. What's the problem?

What does Print Preview show you?

Most common causes are in FilePage SetupSheet

2. Draft Quality is selected.

Or you don't have a color laser printer<g
