ps-print-buffer-with-faces & COLOR [Windows 7]

[William BC Crandall]

First off, many Thanks to Vinicius Latorre for maintaining 
ps-print, and to all who have helped make it great!


ps-print has given me everything I want, print-wise,
except for color, which remains stuck in gray-scale. 

The ps-print portion of my init.el is below. 

PostScript files *look* correct, I think,
(with: C-u M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces).

For example, the first two lines of doMorning.org:

    #+FILETAGS: SCRIPT         [on screen: brick red]
    * Morning Startup          [on screen: blue]


--------------------------[doMorning.org.ps line 1280]:

0 BeginPage
/f0 F
false BG
0.000 0.000 0.000 FG
0.698 0.133 0.133 FG            << RGB: brick red ?
(#+FILETAGS: SCRIPT) S
LHL
0.000 0.000 1.000 FG            << RGB: solid blue
(* Morning Startup) S
0.000 0.000 0.000 FG

----------------------------------------

So it seems to me that ps-print-buffer-with-faces
DOES get the colors correct, but they translate to
grays (two different grays) when it actually prints.

Any ideas on how to fix this or discover more?

Thanks again,

-BC
