RGB colors are printing black and white on some older files.

[Anonymous]

Alright,

So I'm baffled on this one.  Been doing this forever and I have some older figures I'm working on that no matter what I do, the RGB colors are always printing in black and white.  I opened up a couple of other figures and they print fine with the Autocad colors in black and white and RGB to color.  So it's not a program setting or something that is global on all of my figures thank the Lord. 

Anyways, does anyone know of a setting from an Autocad 2000 or 2003 drawing that could possibly make all colors print to black and white??  I looked at everything in the Layer Manager and they are the same.   I didn't find anything by googling it, it seems most people had the opposite problem and wanted to print everything in grayscale.  

Thanks so much!

Use STB plot style tables when you PLOT, not CTB, and assign layers and/or objects to the style that prints black https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Plotti...
