Glad you got it working. BTW: It would have actually printed the
document in color. I think the high contrast option is there only for
the screen display for users that have difficulty viewing colors:

  http://www.lighthouse.org/accessibility/effective-color-contrast/

So it may be possible to actually include other high contrast color
schemes in OOo, but my guess would be that OOo just defaults to black on
white for simplicity. Anyone know if this is the case - help shows:

Always use automatic font color for screen display
Displays fonts in OpenOffice.org using the system color settings. This
option only affects the screen display.

Perhaps if the system colors are set differently for various high
contrast settings something other than black might be displayed?
I've no experience with Accessibility options.
