Printing a Color Excel.htm File via IE6

[Guest]

I'm not sure if this is an IE6 question, or an Excel 2003 question, so I'll
ask here first.

I have an Excel file that I open up via an Intranet link into IE6. Excel
does not open; the data is in an .htm file. I normally print the document to
a color printer because of color coding within the document.

Within the last week, I cannot print the document in color when printing
from IE6. However, if I open the source document directly into Excel 2003, I
can print in color.

Does anyone know if there's an IE6 setting or something that's preventing
the .htm file from printing in color? I can print other Internet pages in
color without a problem. The issue seems to be only with this Excel document
saved in .htm format.

Thanks in advance.

Hi MAB

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>under the Printing section, check the
box next to Print Background colors and images

Also, update your printer drivers. It has been known that some Office
updates can alter printer dirvers.

Hope this helps.
