Color print not working in Microsoft Excel

[Ulrich]

I have a spreadsheet with a fill-color in some cells, and also some text that is red. It displays properly on the screen, but it will not print in color -- it always comes out black and white. I have checked the printer settings and it is set for color. Other spreadsheets I have are able to print properly to that printer. But every spreadsheet I get from this one client is having this same issue. I am using Excel 2003, on a system running Windows XP.

Click Options button in File, Page Setup to see what print settings are set for that document. Client may have b&w print default settings for his worksheets. And if you are set to draft quality then disable the same from the printer properties.

Look under your Control Panel - Printers - (ticked on the printer right-click with your mouse) - Properties - connections. Click on Advanced and then check Always available On Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster. Print spooled documents first and then enable advanced printing features.
