Eclipse - Using different colors for printing

I am using the Obsidian theme with the Eclipse Color Theme plugin.

When coding I am very happy with how everything looks:

Obsidian on screen

However, printed code is rather hard to read:

Obsidian print out

Is there any way to make Eclipse print with different colors than it displays?

2 1/2 yrs later, for others besides OP :) Right click your file in Project Explorer and choose 'Open with'; choose Text editor instead of Java/etc editor and print from there. Or alternatively, System Editor (if yours lets you check/uncheck 'print syntax highlighting'). Unless you can force your printer to use black & white instead of grayscale. I couldn't.

There is a quick and dirty answer... change theme prior to printing.
