I use "plot" to make color figure of two time-series, one
red, one green.
Click "print"
Choose the color printer.
Under "appearance" choose "color"

Go to the Color printer for the output and it is in Black
and White!!

However if I save the Figure as an eps color file, then,
outside of Matlab using
e.g. OSX "Preview", the file prints correctly in color.

Does anyone have a workaround for this bug?

Black & white is the default setting for printing. You can make it
color by clicking on Print Preview, select the Color tab, and then the
Color radio button.
