I have a brother MFC 9700 all-in-one printer/fax/scanner which works reasonably well with OS 10.3.
One annoying problem is printing color pages on this black & white printer. Under System 9, the color portion would appear in grey and be legible. Under 10.3 anything which was in color appears as solid black, and text with background color becomes illegible as the background "color" shows up as a black blob.
I can avoid this by manually resetting, each time I print a page, pulling down the tab to ColorSync, then pullling down the Quartz Filter tab to Black and White. I have not found a way to automate this, and it is tedious. I tried to save the printer specs ("presets") but it would not save this setting.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks
