[AccessD] Printing in Colour

Nope, but I've just reproduced it :-)

I have a report which is set to print to a specific printer - (PDFCreator) in colour.

I created a copy of that report , went into design view the File - Page setup - Page, clicked on 
Printer, then on Properties  and changed the  Paper/Quality to "Black and White". The I 
saved the changes as a new report.
So the first  report prints in colour and the new report prints in B&W.

I then set the PDFCreator as the default printer and changed the reports to print to Default 
Printer.  The old report still prints in the colour and the  new report still prints in B&W.  

So:

If the report is configured to use a specific printer, change the printer properties in the report 
in Design view and save the report again.

If it is set to use the Default Printer, you can't change the printer properties, so change the 
report to use a specific printer, set the properties  to print in colour and then set it back to use 
the Default Printer.
