I have the following problem/question:
Software: WinXP SP2, Acrobat Reader 7 (7.0.0 through 7.0.5)
Hardware: Lexmark C750 ColorLaser Printer

When I try to print a color-PDF on the color-printer the pages come out in
black/white when I activate the option "print as image". If I don't activate
"print as image" the pages are printed out in color.

In Acrobat Reader 6 activating "print as image" prints out the pages in
color without any problem.

Is this a bug in AR7 or did I do something wrong?

For testing I used a standard Word-XP-Document with colored text and
converted it into the PDF-format with Acrobat 7.0 (but you can use any
color-PDF-document).

The reason why I would like to use the option "print as image" is because
many of the documents our users download are from the Internet and some of
them are only printed out if the option "print as image" is used (otherwise
they are not printed out at all -> I guess it's because the author did a bad
job when converting the file into the pdf-format).

Thank you very much for help!

Greetings, Rene
