Color Charts Print Black and White

[arbytech]

I have a Word 2003 document with charts linked from Excel. The charts
are in color and look correct when in Word or Print Preview. However
when they print the charts come out in B&W. I have tried this with
three different printers and two different computers.
Any ideas or thoughts or questions would be greatly appreciated?

Do you have a color printer? And if so is it set to print color and not
Monochrome?

The printers I have tested our an old HP Deskjet 672C and a large Xerox
DocuCentre with a Fiery 2000 controller. They are not set to BW or
monochrome and both are color printers.

Those are the issues that I know will produce that result with the
described symptoms. Sorry. Toggling "B&W" for the Chart itself rather
than "Automatic" causes the "Preview" to turn "B&W" also.
