We have advanced computers and monitors that con do color just saying, and wish we could do formatting like vanilla book after all why have printable pages if you can do same stuff and some more with vanilla books? Those two points are my case as to why you should have color and formatting for printers and color that does not waste ink by ending page and starting new with new ink color that is pixel by pixel please.

Please search before posting, this has been requested several times, with the exact same details…

For the mean time, you can buffer the contents of the page, sort it by colour and then print all of the one colour, then move on to the next, print all that, etc, etc, etc until all the text is printed. its the best way to not waste ink.

ok thanks for the tip and I did search and only found one result about better printers it only mentioned color not formatting though. Sorry for the repost though I'll try to do a more thorough search next time.
