Printing in VS10 no longer in color?

[dboggs]

In Visual Studio 10 I have the text editor options for Fonts and Colors set thesame way I did in VS8; e.g., comments in green (and many other selections; mostly the defaults). I also set the Printer options to be the same. In VS8 I got beautiful, colored printouts of my code. In VS10 it is B/W.

Any idea why this feature doesn't work, and how to get it back?

Microsoft removed that capability. A lot of people got very cross with them for doing that.

So they half added it back - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/11/30/color-printing-extension-now-available.aspx

Hello dboggs,

In Visual Studio 2010, a plugin is required to print in color. See How to: Print Code in the Editoron the MSDN website for more information and a link to the plugin.

Thanks to both of you for the response. Unfortunately, the VS extension referred to will not work on the shell (express) version that Intel supplies. Unless you know something that I don't.

So, add me to the list of those that got cross with Microsoft.
