Text doesn't print in color

[bobjeanrich]

Using InbuDesign CS5.5, a Mac with Yosemite and an HP color laser printer CP2025, all of a sudden my graphics ... the text prints in black although I have designated a color for it. What is wrong?

Are you printing from a PDF (e.g. Acrobat PDF Presets > High Quality Print)?

[BobLevine]

Make sure your print settings do not include printing all text as black.

Thank you so much. You got it! I have been working with InDesign and before that Pagemaker for 25+ years, but I never noticed that setting. I looked in preferences but did not think to look in the print settings.

And you are printing from a PDF?

Could you possibly help me with my latest "problem?"

The items in the text version of my control panel have suddenly rearranged themselves (font, size, etc. are way over to the right instead of on the left, etc.) How can I rearrange them the way they were?

On the top left you see a 'A' and 'P' paragraph symbol, click on one of those to change the left/right order 😉

Thank you much! I think I clicked on every other object in the panel except those.
