How to print some fonts in gray in Excel 2010

[Debbie25]

I have created a ‘Sign In’ Sheet in Excel.
I’m typing something into one column of fields and I want this part to print in gray.
So far everything prints black, no gray.
This will be printed to a Black/White printer.

What I have tried….
• Putting the font in a light color like yellow or gray.
• I googled it and it states there is a setting in the options in Excel for “Print colors as black on non color printers”. Could not find it.
• I checked printer settings and the option to print in only black is already disabled.
• I have highlighted that column and went into font settings and made sure ‘Color – Normal font’ was unchecked.
• I have also tried setting the ‘Color – Normal font’ in the font settings to gray.

No go, prints black no gray.

Any ideas?

Fixed
I put the font I wanted gray in Yellow and saved it as a PDF and than printed it.
Worked fine.
