[dba-Tech] Office Won't Print Color

Do any other apps print color - if not many printer settings include an
option to print grayscale
If so then the printer setting for the office apps may have "memorized" the
settings to print grayscale.

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?
