Computer Idiocy

Should anyone have a moment to help me with a silly problem...

How the heck do you persuade a computer/printer to print in black-and-white a document that's had changes tracked so they appear in green, so that the green is black rather than white? I tried highlighting it all and making it black, and that didn't work. I tried turning the "Track changes" off. No luck. What obvious method am I missing?

One of the printer preferences should be whether to print in color or black-and-white. Probably found by choosing "Print" or "Page Preview" or "Page Setup" or "Printer Settings" or something along those lines.

Alternately, you may be able to remove the color cartridge(s) from your printer. It will then print in black-and-white.

I know this way is tedius, but it may still help: if you go through and right-click on all of the changes, and click "accept edit," it will turn the tracked change into regular text. It's a bitch to do, but I think it's the only way to really get rid of everything.
