Why doesn't it print the colours?

I've a worksheet with an invoice template. There's a logo in colour but it
always prints in black and white. Can anyone tell me why and what to do about
it? It's an older template but I'm sure it has worked before...
Thanks!

Go into the printer setup and see if you can find an option to print in Color
or Grayscale. (Could be black and white in lieu of Grayscale).

I can't give you specific instructions because Printer Setup is different
for different printers but you need to click File-> Print or if in xl2007 then
click MS button (top left of screen) then Print -> Print.

I wish it was that simple but it isn't. The setting is colour on the printer.
I've tried on another computer and printer as well with the same result,
which lead me to think that it's a setting in the worksheet?!

Click on File/Page Setup in Excel's menu bar, go to the Sheet tab on the
dialog box that appears and see if the Black and White CheckBox is checked
within the Print section of the dialog page.

Hi Rick,
Is that for Excel 2007? My language is set to Swedish so it sometimes makes
it a bit tricky to find the right commands...

For future reference, you should always mention the version of Excel that
you are using when you ask questions on newsgroups.

They really hid the dialog box I referred to in XL2007. Click the Page
Layout tab, the look at the bottom right corner of the Page Setup panel...
you will see a small square icon with a very small angled arrow symbol in
it... click that icon and the tabbed dialog box I referred to will be
display... go to the Sheet tab and see if the Black and White CheckBox is
checked within the Print section of the dialog page.

Hi again Rick,
Thanks for your help but unfortunately that wasn't the problem. The box
wasn't ticked...
Any other ideas on why it wont print on colour?

It was checked??? Really? Then no, I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas.
That is the only way I know of to control color/BW print out. I've never
played with the Draft CheckBox.. was it checked by any chance?

Then the problem must lay in the templete I guess...
Thanks anyway for your help!!
