I'll agree it's way too many clicks, windows and such in order to print something like this.

Color diagrams printing is a default with B&W (monochrome) printing as a fallback measure. If this setting will not stick, please contact support.
FYI - Once the current AAPEX/SEMA cycle ends (November), development is going to concentrate on fit & finish of ProDemand / ShopKeyPro. This includes a number of printing issues.

That's the problem. It's stuck on BW. You have beautiful COLOR diagrams and we have to UNCHECK this every time we print.

I know this is off topic but it is wire diagram related. Please please please make the diagrams open in a full window.

I grab a 2004 Impala RO in SE and click on Repair information and get to wiring diagrams; I select Air Conditioning and get Fig 1 Compressor Circuit on page 1 and Fig 2 Manual A/C Circuit on page 2. They are in COLOR and match the screen.

When we go to print the diagram, the checkbox for black and white is always selected. I must manually unselect B&W every time. We would like that setting to be sticky, so we don't have to click it every time.

So am I (Chrome) and it prints color for me. Firefox has a persistent checkbox for 'Print in Black & White' that appears to be what people are battling each time.
What is the PC operating system and version of Chrome browser is installed there? [Tools menu - About should launch a new tab with version info]

As for Chrome, I let it update and now it has the Print Black & White checkbox.
Version 37.0.2062.124 m = no checkbox
version 38.0.2125.104 m = with checkbox
