    put the guidance in the form of a note attached to the cell, leaving the actual cell blank.....or...

    write a macro that copies the contents of the cell to an unused cell outside the print area, and incorporate that macro in a dedicated print macro, run from a suitable icon, the end of the macro will obviously copy the text back into the cell.

    You could add a workbook event macro.

    Link should help with the code. look under "Make the Font white of a range"
