[X4U] color printing problem

[David Glassman]

This is one for all you printing experts. I have an iMac G5, 10.3.8 and 
MS Word X (2001).

My daughter had highlighted a number of words in different colors for a 
high school Spanish paper.  When she tried to print it out, the words 
which should have been green came out gray.

Without a clue as to what I was doing, I opened the Printer Setup 
Utility, selected my Canon i850 printer, cleaned the heads, checked ink 
levels , and printed out a test page. Everything seemed fine, but it 
still didn't print the green words.

  I then opened ColorSync for the i850, selected Profile First Aid, ran 
verify profiles.  It reported that 14 profiles needed repair, so I ran 
"repair."  It reported that all had been repaired so I tried to print 
the page again.

Voila!  The page printed correctly and I looked like an Apple Genius to 
my daughter.

A few minutes later she tried to print another copy and it was back to 
gray again.  This time ColorSync didn't do anything when I tried it.  
No profiles needed repair, but it was still printing gray instead of 
green words.  And that's where I am now.

Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thank you.
