I have two suggestions.

1. Print only on Windows printers.
2. Switch the red and blue color cartridges on
the printer you are using.

Microsoft gets the whole color thing sort of ass
backwards for some reason. It wouldn't surprise
me to find this kind of error in a print routine.
And, especially, when printing from a Mac, which
seems to go out of its way to do things in the
anti-Windows way.

Maybe I'm getting old, but the whole UNIX/Windows,
Republican/Democrat thing is starting to get under
my skin a little bit. Almost worse than having
children living in the house. :-(

Cheers,

David
