Doesn't print colour drawing in colour

I have a drawing with thick coloured lines (Red, 2mm) and an inserted image (shades of blue)
which prints in greyscales.
I have checked all the printer settings and options I can find but with no success.
I notice that the colours display ok on the screen in normal working but switch to B&W in Print Preview - is that a clue?

Hi JImbo,

Try to locate the printpreviw toolbar (where you can select ratio, black/white, fit, and center).

The toolbars are very confusing for new users, because users just don't notice them being added to the top toolbar area.

I added command line access for color and blackwhite modes, if you can build from source or use the latest builds:

Many Thanks dxli - I'm just annoyed with myself that I didn't find that setting,
I thought I had looked just everywhere!

There's a screenshot to show the the "Print Preview" Toolbar:
