Aaron,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've finally gotten around to trying this, and discovered that it doesn't work. In fact, it's worse than not using a filter at all. If I try using greyscale, the printout is just as hard to read as it was printing directly in colour on a black-and-white printer, and when I tried the black & white filter, any action which is due soon simply disappears!
The problem is that the colours used are too light, so the Quartz filter translates the (pale orange) text into white text on a white background. Urgh.
If only Omni would fix the feature in the first place. I can live without the colour indications on a B&W printer, but not having text appear at all in a printout is downright dangerous -- I was wondering why I got all these blank lines in my printout, until I went back to the computer and compared it with the original in OF.
- Erik.

You CAN print documents in black & white. In the print dialog, under Colorsync, choose Quartz filter and B&W or gray, or sepia, or whatever you want. Not sure if this will work with all printers, but it does on mine (not a B&W, BTW). You can save these settings as a Preset in the print dialog and make sure it's chosen every time you print to that printer.
