Re: Word printing issue
On the Compatibility tab of Tools | Options, make sure "Print colors as
black on noncolor printers" is not checked and then substitute a color such
as yellow. My experience with monochrome lasers is that whether they print
grey text depends on the driver, but even drivers that won't print grey text
will print yellow as grey.

Re: Word printing issue
Thanks for the suggestion Suzanne, but that option is unchecked(by default),
plus I did try light yellow color before and the printing is still the
same(all perfect dark).

Re: Word printing issue
Check the printer properties then; make sure it's not set for draft
printing, and see if there's a setting that relates to grayscale vs. B&W.
