I've got a print control written in VB6 that I use for easy printing
reports in VB2005. It works great except for one thing. When I display
the print options dialog, the VB6 OptionButton controls appear black
(see attached pictures).

Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how to fix it?

There is a bug in VB6' forms which will cause the background of themed
option buttons to be drawn in black. You can either fix it by putting the
option button onto a picturebox or disable Windows XP Visual Styles for the
application.
 
Thanks! I'll give the picturebox option a try.
