Can't get VS2010 RC to print in color

Is it just me or will VS2010 RC not print code in color? I have tried everything I can think of to no avail, everything prints monochrome.

I have the latest drivers for my printer
VS2008 prints color just fine (As do other apps)
I tested printing in high quality color, normal and ink saver modes.
Class Diagrams DO print in color making me think it is not a driver issue.

Is there an option or something I am missing?

Apparently colour printing functionality will be absent in the VS 2010 release initially. I found this info on a msdn forum.

Wow, I would love to see the resoning behind this. Since the editor is in WPF and printing from WPF is supposed to be a lot easier than it was before. It would be great to see the gotcha that keeps Microsoft from being able to do it!

I thought I would try using the Expression blend preview to print it but no such luck, it does not work with 2010 RC

I found a workaround to print the specific file I wanted. I cannot be certain it would always work.

The solution was to open the .cs file (Not the whole solution) in VS 2008. I also tested a .xaml file and it printed fine as well.
