CG>How to force coloured fonts to print as black on a laser printer?
CG>I'll swear to having seen and done this somewhere on my
CG>W95/Word6.0 system here in my office.
Some of you will remember this one, too. Problem solved, and some 
of you were dead on the money, so to speak. 
Yesterday we decided to spool a slew of 300+ documents to the 
printer in the operators pale. A macro (natch!) does the work of 
printing-to-file 300+ times, but first we have to select the 
printer. It's an "Apple LaserWriter II NTX", and you'll never 
guess what I saw in the "Advanced options" box. 
That's right, a check box titled "all olors to black".
                             Yippeee!
What does this mean to us all?
1) I'm *NOT* suffering from delusions, as you thought I was. I 
really did see and use such an option a few weeks back - we just 
haven't been back to do a mass print since. Hence I don't find 
the option on my HPLJ4 and other cheap printers.
2) The client and I can contnue to use coloured fonts to 
differentiate between our styles, to facilitate proof-reading, 
and so on. We can continue to print coloured fonts on a B&W 
printer (they show up as varying shades of grey), but we can 
force-to-black at the time we do the big print run over there, 
which of course, avoids tying up the office HPLJ4 for hours on 
end.
