Printing from Visual Basic using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application. Colour required
I have an application which prints a MS word document, however by default the selected printers print in 'Black and White' otherwise the user needs to select the colour option via the properties option.
Using the 'PrintDialog' option the user can view and select the properties required, however how can this be applied to MS word to print the document in colour?

Dim myWord As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
Dim myDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
Dim mySettings As New PrintDialog
If (mySettings.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
myWord.ActivePrinter = mySettings.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
myDoc = myWord.Documents.Open(strFilenames(intEmail).ToString) myWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(Copies:=mySettings.PrinterSettings.Copies)
End if
You should be able to change the printer's default settings from the Control Panel. Exit Word. Open the printer's properties and change the selections to print in color. Start Word and look at the printer's settings. They should reflect what you defined as the defaults in the Control Panel.

Due to enforced policies their IT department has put in place to reduce costs the system won't save this change. However users can print in color via MS Word if the select print and then make the settings change via the printer properties option.
