  One of the more knowledgeable folks who frequent the OO mail list came up
with the solution: Tools > Options > OpenOFfice.org > Print, the Convert
colors to grayscale option.

  This makes 3 places where the user must specify color or gray scale! Three
places!! That's really poor program design. Of course, they followed the
Redmond model, but I would _never_ have found this by myself. Who the heck
would think of looking on a configuration option page when there's printing
stuff on the print menu item?

  It works. Stupid program(mers). Sigh.

  Well, Zot, scratch that from tomorrow's meeting. What's left?
