Draft Color printing "problems"

[rperre]

I have a report with a schedule of Call duties and use colors to distinguise teams! If I print this (13) page document it takes forever on my inkjet and I really don't need the "Nice" normal print-out. However if I print in Draft speed on my color inkjet it will just give me graytones for the colors??????????

Is there a way to fix this?
any settings I overlooked?

I tried setting the printer as default and just pressing the printer button. I tried going through the menu-print and setting the printer to draft. But it will just not print the colors in Draft mode (normal mode is fine)

Anybody?

You don't indicate what printer you are using...but is it possible that it automatically reverts to "Grayscale" or "Black and White" in draft mode, unless you specifically set it differently?

Hey, yes I checked that several times, to no help though.

I am printing this on a Canon IP3000

thank you,

Let me correct my statement (again, sorry)

It does print color, because 1 of my form headers is color and it does print that.
What it does not print is the control fills (backcolor) I formatted.

Thanks,

That's odd. Why would it print color in the Header but no color in the controls? Beats me.

That's a pretty decent printer. There is no apparent reason why this should happen. One of those cyberspace mysteries? Or Murphy's Law?

ain't that the truth!

I can print it normal, but it just takes too long and is totally unnecessary. Basically trying to save a buck or two while printing all these "samples" while coding!
