Default Cannot print in color using MS Word 2007

I cannot print in color with Word 2007. I can print with any other MS
applications. Somewhere there is a setting within Word to turn on an off
color printing, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. I know that
the problem is not with the printer preferences.

Thumbs up Answer: Cannot print in color using MS Word 2007

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble printing in color with Word 2007. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.

First, let's check to make sure that the document you're trying to print is set up to print in color. Here's how:
  1. Open the document in Word 2007.
  2. Click on the "Office" button in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Click on "Print" in the left-hand menu.
  4. In the "Print" dialog box, make sure that "Color" is selected under "Print Options."

If "Color" is already selected, then let's move on to checking Word's default printer settings:
  1. Click on the "Office" button in the top left corner of the screen.
  2. Click on "Word Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Advanced" in the left-hand menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Printing" section.
  5. Make sure that "Print in background colors and images" is checked.
  6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

If neither of these solutions work, it's possible that there's a problem with Word's installation or your printer driver. You may want to try reinstalling Word or updating your printer driver.

Hi gopher-buckeye,

It could be because you've checked the 'Use draft quality' option under Word Options|Advanced Print.

Hi macropod -

Thank you. I just looked and it was already unchecked, so I tried it with it
checked to see if by chance it might work, but no luck. If you have any other
good ideas, please keep them coming.

Hi gopher-buckeye,

Try checking whether the printer is configured to print in color under under File|Print Properties Paper/Quality.

Hi macropod.

Again, another excellent suggestion. Thank you. Are you referring to the
setting found under the property of the printer found when one goes to print
the document? If so, I was aware of this setting and it has not made a
difference.
I can print Excel in color but not Word. I can save the Word document as a
PDF and then print in color, but it is cumbersome. Thanks again.
