    Error with Printing Gray Font

    Hey everyone,

    I have a spreadsheet with some empty cells and rather than having blank spaces I want to have "None" displayed in light gray font. I've filled all the blank cells with the appropriate background and font colors, but when I print the table it changes all of the cells back to black font. It still displays correctly on Excel, but in "Print Preview" and when printed, all the font is black. The background colors all all correct, just the text reverts to black. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Well, I feel a bit derpy for not trying this earlier: It does this when I send it to the black and white printer, but everything works normally with the color printer, so it must have been on the printer's end. No idea why the black and white printer can't handle certain grays though.
