Is there a way to force a sheet to print out in black and white without changing the sheet itself to black and white. I was thinking of something that physically tells the printer to print in black and white vs. color.

My thing is that I have a lease copier that charges me a ton for color copies and the users of my workbook always forget to change the print properties to black and white.

I already tried the following script with no luck:

Code:
Sub PrintBnW()
With ActiveDocument
.Compatibility(wdPrintColBlack) = True
.PrintOut
.Compatibility(wdPrintColBlack) = False
End With
End Sub

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
