Hi Paul,

I have reverted the 'offending' text back to 255 and it printed in Blue! Created some new text in 255 and it also prints in blue, like the problem nver existed. Strange.
What I have now done is set my defaults to 250 and given red 5 and green 5 (my human eye can't spot any difference) which hopefully will 'fool' the 'colour reader' (whatever that is in the system) so it is not tempted to default 255 back to black. It seems to be working ok.

But like tyou say, I ought to be running 0: 0: 255 configuration without problems and I'd really like to get down to a postively permanent fix.

Gary
