After taking a look under the hood, saw that the reports that properly printed in Color had a COLOR = 2 setting in the Expr Field of the first record for the FRX, while those that continued to print in Black & White had a COLOR = 1 line. Changing the COLOR setting from 1 to 2 corrected the problem.

>>How is the COLOR setting in the Expr field set? Don't see any setting field in the Report Designer. Was this determined by the Save the Printer Environment setting & Selected Printer on the 1st Save from the Report Designer? Once set, is there anyway to reset without going under the hood?
Marshal,
Like Tore I never save the Printer environment.
Looking as you did I could not find away to set Colour=2 in the ObjType=1 record. Howerver, looking through my print files I see that they are all at Colour=2 even though most use just black. I therefore suggest setting them all to Colour=2 and leaving it at that.
