[AccessD] Office Won't Print Color

Are you perhaps printing in draft mode? From the menu, select Tools - 
Options - Print tab, see if Draft Output is ticked. While you're there, see 
if Background colors & images is selected (in case that's what's missing).

It's a long shot, but if you're still having the problem, anything is worth
checking out ...

Word-->Options-->Print all set correctly.  No grayscale option.  With 
Word-->Options-->the
Samsung Laser printer there is a grayscale option but it's unchecked.

Hi Rocky:

No knowing the printer but all printers I am aware of, have a setting that
prints all in grey-scale to save on ink. There may also be a setting in your
printer's > properties colour management tab and/or advanced tab that allows
the printer to be set to only print in grey-scale. 

I believe there is also a property, in the Office Options that allows you to
set printer default colour.

Off the top that is as good as it gets.

Dear List(s):
 
Sorry for the cross post - you never know where the 'good' answer will com
from these days. :)
 
Anyway, I have two color printers and neither will print in color from any
Office app.  I tried printing a picture from Windows Photo Viewer  prints
color.  PDF from Adobe - OK. So I think the printers are OK.
 
So I think it must be something on Office.  This is 2003 professional.
 
I put three lines of text on a doc, one red, one blue, one yellow.  All come
out in grayscale.  If I print to PrimoPDF and then print the PDF it comes
out in grayscale as well - so it must be some instruction in Office that's
defaulting everything to grayscale.
 
Google is usually good about this but there's nothing except some advice
about background printing. 
 
What to do?
