Just to make things more complicated: I downloaded the most recent
experimental OO Version for Intel-Macs OOo_SRC680_m169_MacOSXIntel_en-
GB.dmg from a few days ago. Miraculously, printing was OK, black
letters printed black.
There were, however, only few fonts available. I added fonts using
the spadmin program. I checked that File->Print->Options print black
selected, font color explicitly set to black.
Still,the prior problem manifests again: black fonts print as colors
(??!). Also, File->Export to PDF, print: correct black letter print.
Well, I can survive with that....
Puzzled,
Uwe

You might find that it is a printer driver problem, I use an HP

colored ink -- until I ran out of magenta -- all of a sudden all my
text was green.
I spoke with HP tech support who suggested that I replace the GIMP
print driver I was using with the HP all-in-one 2.1 driver --
problem solved. I had avoided installing the HP software that came
with the printer because of all the other stuff they seem to think
I wanted -- if you are using an HP product you can now download
just the drivers rather than having to deal with all rest of the
stuff.

Hi,
I am using OO-Writer 2.0.2. on an Intel-Mac. Occasionally printing
black text results in slightly colored output, the printer is
trying
to mix black from color inks. Exporting the same text as PDF and
printing using Mac-Preview, i.e. using a native Mac-program
gives the
expected black output from the black color ink tank.
I am aware that under File->Printer Settings one can enforce
greyscale printing, but I rather would like to know where the
problem
might be.
Any clue how to prevent wasting color ink ?
Try File > Print > Options > Print black.

Tried that, thanks for the guess. Nope, printout is still blueish.
I also tested X11-preferences (on the Mac, OOO X11 is started
first, than OpenOffice), where you can select Output colors ->
from display, 256, thousands, millions. All of these gave the same
result: black font on screen, blueish printout. After export to
PDF, black font is printed black.
[ a little later...]
I now found its an X11 problem. Printing from an X11 terminal out
of emacs for instance also results in blueish printing. Will dig
deeper soon......
