Default printing from power point in colour

Hi,

I can't seem to print my powerpoint preentation in colour, when i use a
different printer (it's B&W) it prints everything out fine, but the first
page is the only one to come out on the colour printer, I was wondering if
someone can help me with this problem?

Thanks

Sonia,check all the slides is in “color” status: toggle between color and
black and white, from the View menu, click COLOR/GRAYSCALE» Color, Grayscale
or Pure Black and White . After you have made your selection, the
COLOR/GRAYSCALE button on the toolbar changes appearance to reflect your
choice.
Set the color printer as the default printer,and in the print preview
menu,click option, click COLOR/GRAYSCALE» Color.

Hi
that didn't help at all, it's still only printing the first page on the
colour printer, all the settings were set to what you stated to do, but I
toggled them to give it a bit of a 'jiggle' to see if that would work. Nothing

Sonia, do I understand you right: only one slight is printed on the colour
printer and the other slides will not print at all? Is the colour printer a
printer directly connected to your computer or do you have access over a
network? There could be some problem while printing large presentation over
a network and it could help to print only a few slides and then the next
ones.

And I remember a problem with Powerpoint 2003 which was solved with a
Service Pack for Office. If you have Powerpoint 2003 make sure to have all
Service Packs installed.

Which version of PowerPoint do you have, Sonia?

What happens at the printer end ... does the "I'm thinking" light blink for a
long time then finally quit, or does it stop blinking right after page 1?

What happens if you print only page 2?

Page one prints even when you ask PowerPoint to print only a different page?
Can you confirm that? Thanks.

Also, check to see if there are any hidden slides. If there are, you'll see an
option to print hidden slides in the print dialog box. If that's visible and not
grayed out, put a check next to it then try printing one of the other slides.

Hi Steve

Yea, it only prints page one when I ask it to print a different page. The
hidden slides option is greyed out.

Thanks

do you have this problem with this presentation only? Or does the printer
print slide 1 from every presentation? I wonder if there are some settings
in the printer options - "print page 1 only"...

Hi

How would I find out those settings? I don't see anything on the print pop
up page to that effect.

Thanks
