I have an Epson C86 connected to an AEBS. Suddenly, it's printing in black and white (with the standard color setting selected) from the laptop, but not the desktop. The desktop still prints as directed.

I haven't messed around with it yet, but am wondering if this could be simply a driver error. ANyone have any experience with this?

I'm sure it's just a driver error. I've seen OS X hiccup now and then on printer settings, which a simple reboot fixed.

Otherwise, try creating a new preset with the settings you want, just in case the original setting is... confused.

Reboot did the trick. I'm back in the land of Oz, color-wise. Thanks.
