Why should it be? Allowing those with color printers to print in color is
a bug??

More like an example of someone failing to RTFM. ;-)
(Note that I fail to mention how long it took for *me* to go to the docs. :-)
Anyway, here's what I do with NS Navigator 3.01 for Win95, other
platforms/versions should be similar, if not identical. Go to the File menu
and select Page Setup. In the upper left corner is a section titled Page
Options with four checkboxes. Check Black Text, and printing light colored
text is no longer a problem!
