FoxIt reader is ignoring XP printer defaults

[Mr Davo]

Hi Everyone,

I am using FoxIt Reader (3.2.0.0303) a free PDF reader, similar to Adobe Reader.

Although the program is quite good at opening PDFs it is ignoring printer defaults. I have Windows XP set to print in Black & White (through Start --> Printers & Faxes) and every time that I print a PDF it is coming out in colour.

This strange behaviour is limited to FoxIt, other programs, such as Excel & Word are respecting the XP printer defaults.

If you have any ideas on how this can be fixed they will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Kind Regards,

Davo

I suggest you use the Adobe Reader.

Foxit Reader can not support printing in Black & White correctly even if the printer has the feature. But it will not appear in the next versions which will be released in the near future.
