SUMMARY
The Print dialog box in PowerPoint gives you two options for black and white printing. These options are called Black And White, and Pure Black And White, respectively. If you choose these options, the following changes will be made to your slide when it is printed:

Slide Object                 Black And White     Pure Black And White --

Slide background color       Prints white        Prints white Slide text                   Prints black        Prints black Drawn lines and borders      Prints black        Prints black Object fills                 No change           Prints white Filled objects w/o outlines  No change           Black outline added Patterned objects            No change           Prints black/white Imported graphics            No change           No change OLE objects                  No change           No change NOTE: If you are printing to a color printer, the items described as "No Change" will be printed in color. If you are printing to a black and white printer, these items will be printed in grayscale.

MORE INFORMATION
The Black And White option is useful if you want to keep your slide looking as close as possible to the original but you want the background of the slide to be white.

The Pure Black And White option is useful when you want to print draft copies on a color printer or when you want to print very readable speaker's notes or handouts.
