My hunch is you simply neglected to select the "Print Color: Full Color" option in the Print dialog box. This is a common error.
In my version of WP8, print in color is grayed out so I can't use it. The HP 722C is a windows only printer but it works with pnm2ppa.
Netscape and StarOffice 5.2 use lpr to print in color but WP8 only has lp as a destination. How can I change the destination to lpr and enable the print in color box?
You need to change to a color-enabled *WORDPERFECT* printer driver. Check my Web page on the subject, http://www.rodsbooks.com/wpfonts/, and particularly the link entitled "Setting up WordPerfect to use a PostScript printer or Ghostscript," for more information.

Hi Rod, I want to personally thank you for your help in getting WP8 to print in color. Went to the site you listed above and followed your info below: "For color printers, I've found that the QMS magicolor (in wp60ps01.us.all) driver produces good results, apparently at or around 600 dpi." I installed the driver and it prints great in color. Thanks again. jozien
