Can't print in color after viewing greyscale.

[KatnAusi]

After printing my slides in greyscale and economy print for a test run, I
switched everything back to normal and color print but my slides are still in
greyscale. I have selected color in the working mode, aswell as in preview
mode. All printer settings are set to normal printing and to color aswell. I
have also tried closing the presentation and reopening it to print again and
STILL in greyscale.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Longshot -- go to Start|Control Panel|Accessibility Options and turn off
High Contrast.

Actually, that's not such a longshot if the slides are grayscale when you're
looking at them in Normal editing View, even though you've gone to
View|Color/Grayscale|Color.

Another longshot -- in PPT, go to File|Print|Properties, make sure you're
not in Draft mode. Also, check every tab in the printer properties. For
example, mine has a Color tab that has a "print in grayscale" option. It
also has two or three different places you can specify draft quality, normal
quality, best quality, and a couple of levels in-between. I had a similar
problem printing from Word a few weeks ago. Took me forever to get my CD
labels to print out in color and not solid black. IIRC, I had to drop down
from "best" quality to "normal" to resolve it.
