Trace,

< UPDATE > nevermind, it looks like it uses _screen colors....

I'm not terribly familiar with changing colors the way you are doing it...can you have two windows with different colors in them? (I assume yes). Does printing to the printer use the colors of the currently selected window?

There must be a way to ignore it so the printer prints black on white without using the current screen colors to print. MSFT lists it as a bug too...
