Computer won't print black text in Word, excel, safari- not printer issue..

I have a PC and got some attachments that would not print black. One was word and one was a pdf of the word document. I printed out the word document as a pdf and printed out the pdf just fine. The problem occurred on 2 different models of Epson printers. It seemed like there was a code in the word document that said to use invisible ink.
I am posting on this apple forum because I think it is a Microsoft problem, not Safari nor Epson.
Having similar issues. Word for Mac 2004, tried printing a document I used all the time without issues. Haven't printed the document in a few months, now nothing shows up when I print it, blank page. Sometimes a few text boxes (outlines) will print but with no text inside them that should be there. If I insert a picture from file it prints fine.....very frustrating and must be a problem with some recent update, I know I just installed a bunch and wish I hadn't.
I am having the same problem, just started after I installed the latest Canon printer update. Now I can't print black from Word (2008) or TextEdit. I tried all of the suggestions above and they didn't work.
I'm having the same issue. It started on my HPJ4680. Thought it must be the printer. Changed printers. Same bloody thing. Changed the font to red, green, whatever; In these colors, printer works a treat. Black doesn't print at all. Page comes up empty.
PDF doesn't print black. Reseting printer doesn't help. Nothing works. Anyone find a solution to this other than throwing the computer out?
Same thing here, all the same problems. Tried all the suggestions. Although, I might add that I was able to print all colors including black from .doc Tried to save docx to doc and did not work!!!! What is this thing??? Is it software? Printer? Font?? Computer?? Has anyone figured this out? From what I can see issue started back in 2011. Someone must have figured it out by now. Why are there no updates? Someone please help
