Eliminate backgrounds for faster PowerPoint printouts
Authored by: hanieldill on Jan 28, '04 01:39:37PM

Sadly, powerpoint is my life. If you want to disable backgrounds when printing to a black & white printer just print as grayscale rather than as color. To do this select Microsoft Powepoint when the print dialogue box comes up. There you will see a menu called 'Output' which should default to 'Color'. Change it to 'Grayscale' and you slides will print much faster and without the backgrounds.

I'm on the road right now so I can't verify if it works for all printers or how to ommit backgrounds on a color printer.
