PrintBox and Colors

(Cross posted to Online Support Request)

I've created a document that uses PrintBox to create a number of boxes on the form.  I'm using the BOX_TYPE_BORDER_FRAME box style to generate empty boxes.  When I print to a Minota Magicolor 2200, the boxes all print in Yellow.  All of the text prints black.  Why do the boxes print in Yellow and how can I make them print Black?  Note that I've never called PrintRGBColor to change any color information.

MP,
Try adding the following immediately before your first PrintBox():
PrintRGBColor(0,0,1)

This corrects the issue.  Is this considered a bug?  According to the documentation, 0,0,0 is black.

It is also considered "default" which can respond differently on certain printers. We do have a bug report on it on file.
