Excel cant print in color

[john mcmichael]

I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet with areas that have been assigned colors.
The colors show on the screen the way I expect. However, I can not get this
one file to print in color. Other files print correctly. I have looked
under file - page setup - sheet tab and made sure black and white is NOT
selected, but still no luck. I have also reloaded the printer drivers.

any help would be appreciated.

John,
have you checked your printer properties to make sure no one turned off the
color there?

Check File |Page Setup | Sheet to see if the sheet is set to print in B&W

Can you see the colors when in Print Preview mode?

If not.......How about unchecking "Draft Quality" on Setup>Sheet?
