This is weird.

I have a worksheet that is generated by another piece of software (it's web-based, I don't know).

On this Excel sheet, I have:
  • Conditional formatting that changes the fill color and the text color
  • Text that, after it's been imported, I manually change the color
  • An imported color image (don't know if it's JPG or BMP)
  • Two Shapes that have fill color (that are next to the color image)

When I hit print, the Print Preview shows that everything is going to print in black and white.

When it prints, the two shapes print in color. Everything else is in black and white.

I want it to print in color.

Any thoughts?

(Before you say, "Is the printer set for color?" or "Is the Sheet Setup set for b&w?", remember - those two shapes are printing in color...!)
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
.
This is a long shot :

Go to the Excel "button", upper left corner.

Print Preview / Page Setup / Print / Uncheck Black & White


Also under Sheet / Options there are a few settings for B&W
