Excel 2010 - Compiler won't print in color!#%$#

[emerlin 0]

Hi - I must be a moron....

 

I am using excel 2010 with the compiler and have everything tweaked for my draft. When I hit print - to my color laser, it brings up a b/w preview and prints b/w (imagine that). I have checked all the page and printer properties and cannot figure this out.

 

Any ideas?

No color ink installed? It has to be a printer setting I would say. Funny it would default to b/w, which is why I suggested the printer is perhaps detecting no color ink. Once you go to Print and it brings up the Print box, there is usually a "Properties" or "Advanced" button where you can go in and change the color settings. Sounds like you've been there though, but look for that if you haven't.

It is my work color laser :-) so it is good to go I use it almost daily for real work stuff. The think I don't get is that when hit the preview button or print button it shows the dock in B&W.... Other color sheets show up color. It must be an excel thing but I can't see where...

Ha. No problem. I was coming back to post I did a Google search but didn't find any known issue along these lines. Glad you got it figured out. Good luck in your draft!
