Yeah they both print color if from an app other than Office.

Background color printing checked. This is a real stumper.

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 ...

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.

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?
