Hello Stephen,

It’s not possible to set the color or grayscale options to appear as default when opening the print menu in Excel. Those settings are controlled at the system level via your printer preferences. In Excel, you can still access these settings, but each time you print, you’ll need to manually adjust the color options unless they’ve been preset in your system’s printer properties.

To adjust your printer preferences at the system level rather follow these steps:
1. Go to your Devices and Printers settings in your operating system.
2. Right-click on your printer >> select Printing Preferences, and configure your preferred settings there.
This will set your defaults across all programs, including Excel, without needing to change them each time in the print menu.

Regards
