Notepad++ color printing or alternatives

Question

I'm trying to print some source code using notepad++ and I'm hoping to be able to keep keyword highlighting and styling on some lines (background color ) I thought as long as I have WYSIWYG selected on the printing preferences i would get just that..what I see. But it prints in black and white. any idea why?

If it's not possible for npp to do it, any alternatives?

Answer 1

Visual Studio Express (2008, at least) prints text colored.

Answer 2

I just printed some syntax highlighted XML from Programmer's Notepad.

Answer 3

Notepad++ does support color printing. You'll probably want to check your printer settings and/or have your color ink cartridge replaced.
