You can download the Color Printing Extension from the Visual Studio Gallery and install it .
or follow the following steps to install the Color Printing Extension .
1. Open Visual Studio 2010
2. Go to Tools – Extension Manager
3. Search for Color Printing , you will find the plugin in the online gallery .
4. Click Download and install
5. Restart your Visual Studio 2010 .
Now try the printing with the key Ctrl + P , you should be able to see a colorful printed page 🙂
Note that the Color Printing extension works only in Visual Studio 2010 Premium, Professional and Ultimate versions.
