Printing Drawings with Shaded Views... AGAIN!!!

When I printed drawings with shaded views in the past, under Page Setup I
always set the Drawing Color to Automatic, and check High Quality under
Resolution and Scale. This always worked well. The black geometry would
print pure black and anything color would print color.
For some reason, recently when I do this, the drawing prints in what appears
to be gray scale. I don't know when this started doing this. It may have
been the last SP. Can't remember. Now, the only way I can get it to print
color views is to either force the setting to the Color/Gray scale option,
or uncheck the High Quality setting which produces crap quality instead.
Has anyone else seen this?
Also, has anyone ever noticed that the printing functions of SW have ALWAYS
sucked and had issues. This is a basic function of any software which SW
has never had a good handle on.
