This feature is not supported. All color text prints in black. Printing to a HP Laserjet 4/4M yields the same results. This also applies to the HP laserjet III driver that ships with WFW 3.11. All colored text will appear as black. If the "print text as graphics" box is checked and there is any colored text on the slide, all the text will print as white.
