It may be that your default settings are setup for black and white. The reason why Gimp works is probably because you are using the Gimp-Print cups printer driver and that means that the Gimp is capable of doing all the settings needed by itself. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . monkey@monkeynet.ca D).
