There was a recent query about this and I am pasting the reply from
another volunteer:

I have no idea why. I have even tried to print in gray scale on this
program and it still prints in either blue or purple. It's not my
printer settings. Adobe and my world text processor prints in black.
The open office on my pc prints in black but I can't use my pc regularly
because it always over heats and shuts down. How get open office on my
mac to print black ink?
Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org | Accessibility, and you will
see a tick box labelled "Use automatic font color for screen display".
One possibility is that you have this option ticked by mistake. Is the
box ticked? If so, that is your problem; remove the tick.
This option is designed to enable you to see the text easily - normally
in black or white - in edit and Page Preview modes, even when you may
have set the font colour to something else for the actual printing. If
you have actually set your text colour to blue or purple but have this
box ticked, the text you see will be black and you will not know that it
is actually ready to print in the other colour or colours. The option
displays the text in black, even in Page Preview mode, while preserving
its actual colour set up for printing.
Once you have removed this option, you will be able to see the text in
its true colour. Select all the relevant coloured text and change its
colour to genuine black in the normal way: use the Font Color control on
the Formatting toolbar or the controls on the Font Effects tabs of the
Character or Paragraph Style dialogue boxes.
I trust this helps.
