Value: The <printColors> property is either "true" or "false". The default value is determined by the default setting of the current printer grayscale.

Description:
Use the <printColors> property to specify whether to print in color or not. If "color" is not among the items of the <printerFeatures> then this property will have no affect and all print jobs will be printed in monochrome.

If the <printColors> is false then LiveCode will convert all colors in the data to be printed to greyscale before sending to the printer.

To have an effect, this property must be set before calling <open printing>.
