How do I get colour separated printouts red and black?

Trying to prepare and print colour separated printouts of a publisher
document. I want printouts of red and also in black. The printer I'm using
is a Hp Deskjet 720C Could this be the problem?

Make a back-up of the file
Delete all the red items on the page and print that page,
Do not save the file and close it
Then re-open the file and delete all the black items on the page and print
that.

From MS Office Publisher Help:

Print separations of your publication
When you print separations, Microsoft Publisher prints one
page for each color used in your publication. Separations
appear in black and white, even if you print to a color
printer, because your printer uses them only to determine
how colors are laid out.

On the File menu, click Print.
In the Name box, select the printer you want to use.
Click Advanced Print Settings, and then click the
Separations tab.
In the Output list, click Separations.
In the These plates list, do one of the following:
Click All defined inks to print a spot-color or
process-color plate for every ink you have defined in the
publication (Tools menu, Commercial Printing Tools, Color
Printing).
Click Used inks only to print a spot-color or process-color
plate for every defined ink that is used in the publication.
Click Convert spot to process to print only process-color
plates and convert all defined spot colors to process colors.
To prevent Publisher from printing plates for unused
process colors, click Don't print blank plates.
Click the other options you want on the Page Settings tab
and the Graphics and Fonts tab, and then click OK.
Click OK.

More from the Help:

Be sure that you talk with your commercial printing service
before setting up your publication for color printing. Your
printer can tell you how your choice of color printing
options will affect the cost of printing your publication.
Typically, you will want to choose final colors from a
color matching system that your printing service supports.
Microsoft Publisher provides the Pantone Matching System
(Pantone: A widely-used color-matching system that defines
hundreds of spot-color inks or process colors made up of
CMYK inks.), which you can use to specify the spot (spot
color: Premixed color matched to a standard color guide,
such as PANTONE.) or process colors (process colors: The
four transparent inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black)
that are used in commercial printing to produce color
photographic images and a wide range of solid colors.) you
use in your publication.

Work with a printing service to choose colors

Before you begin designing a publication for commercial
printing, you'll want to discuss with your commercial
printing service whether to use process color (also known
as CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial printing that
produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying
percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.)
color) or spot color (spot color: Premixed color matched to
a standard color guide, such as PANTONE.). Publisher
supports process-color and spot-color printing, and
provides all the tools your commercial printing service
needs to prepare your color publication for printing. After
you make a decision about color, you can design your
publication for the type of color printing you've chosen.

Choosing process-color or spot-color printing In most
cases, your decision to use process color, spot color, or a
combination of spot and process color will be based on the
printing issues that you discuss with someone from a
commercial printing service. These issues include the
following:

The number or range of colors that will best suit your
publication

Spot color printing uses premixed inks, typically one or
more colors. Spot colors are often used in publications to:

Emphasize headings, borders, and logos.
Match colors in line drawings or other simple graphics.
Specify special inks, such as metallic or varnish.
Process-color (CMYK) printing, which can reproduce a wide
range of colors using just four inks, is often used when a
publication:

Includes full-color photographs.
Uses detailed, multicolored graphics.
The cost of producing the publication

Typically, a process-color publication is more expensive to
produce than a spot-color publication. Every ink requires a
separate press plate and process color printing always
requires four inks, which entails more setup time for a
printer. If you are printing only a small number of
publications, the cost per publication may be prohibitively
expensive.

Spot color costs vary depending on how many inks you will
use. Typically, you will use very few, but you can create
the effect of a wider range of colors by using tints of an
ink. For example, a printer can create screen tints of spot
colors, rather than separate plates, and thus vary the
colors without increasing printing costs.

The cost of producing a publication also depends on the
type of paper used for printing, the complexity of the
publication's graphics, and on the number of publications
that will be produced.

Set up a publication for spot-color printing

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and
then click Color Printing.
Under Define all colors as, click Spot colors.
Publisher converts all colors in your publication to
spot-color inks, which are listed in the Inks tab. You can
change, duplicate, or add new spot-color inks as desired.

How?

Change a spot-color ink

When you change a spot-color ink, you replace it with
another ink, which you can choose from the Pantone Matching
System or the Windows color palette, or define using the
the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture
of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined
as a set of three values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of
each color produces black; using 100 percent of all three
colors produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for
commercial printing that produces a wide range of colors by
mixing varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a
color by three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation,
the purity of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light
that is either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color
model.

In the Inks tab, click the arrow next to the spot-color ink
you want to change, and then click Change.
In the Change Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you
want, and then click OK.
Duplicate a spot-color ink

When you duplicate a spot-color ink, you create a new ink
by altering the definition of an existing ink. Alternately,
you can choose a new ink from the Pantone Matching System
or the Windows color palette, or define it using the the
RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture of
red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a
set of three values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each
color produces black; using 100 percent of all three colors
produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial
printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing
varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a color by
three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the purity
of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is
either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color model.

In the Inks tab, click the arrow next to the spot-color ink
you want to duplicate, and then click Duplicate.
In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you
want, and then click OK.
Add a new spot-color ink

When you add a new spot-color ink, you can choose a new ink
from the Pantone (Pantone: A widely-used color-matching
system that defines hundreds of spot-color inks or process
colors made up of CMYK inks.) Matching System or the
Windows color palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB:
A system that describes colors as a mixture of red (R),
green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a set of
three values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each color
produces black; using 100 percent of all three colors
produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial
printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing
varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a color by
three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the purity
of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is
either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color model.

In the Inks tab, click New Ink.
In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you
want, and then click OK.
Note When you switch your publication to spot-color
printing, any color schemes (color scheme: A predefined set
of harmonized colors that you can apply to text and
objects. Text and objects with an applied scheme color will
change automatically when you switch to a new color scheme
or modify the current color scheme.) you have will be lost.

Set up a publication for process-color printing

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and
then click Color Printing.
Under Define all colors as, click Process colors (CMYK).
Publisher converts all colors in your publication to CMYK
values, and then lists cyan, magenta, yellow, and black as
the only inks in the Inks tab. Publisher lists all the
colors in the Colors tab, showing their CMYK values.

Note Some colors that appear on your screen cannot be
matched exactly to a CMYK color. After setting up for
process-color printing, be sure to evaluate the publication
for color changes. If a color does not match the color you
want, you can change the color of individual objects in the
publication.

Set up a publication for spot-color and process-color printing

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and
then click Color Printing.
Under Define all colors as, click Process colors plus spot
colors.
One of the following will result:

If your publication was set up for Any color (RGB),
Publisher converts all colors to process colors and lists
only the process-color inks cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black in the list of inks in the Inks tab.
If your publication was set up for Spot colors or Single
color, Publisher retains the spot-color inks and adds the
process-color inks cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to the
list of inks in the Inks tab.
If your publication was set up for Process colors (CMYK),
Publisher initially lists only the process-color inks in
the Inks tab. However, if you click New Ink you can add any
spot-color inks to the list of inks in the Inks tab.
How?

When you add a new spot-color ink, you can choose a new ink
from the Pantone Matching System or the Windows color
palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB: A system that
describes colors as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and
blue (B). The color is defined as a set of three values
(R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each color produces
black; using 100 percent of all three colors produces
white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial printing
that produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying
percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.), or
HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a color by three
values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the purity of
the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is
either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color model.

In the Inks tab, click New Ink.
In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you
want, and then click OK.
