I just tried a few of these color changes and it should do the trick.
Just add something like this to the ldliterc.dat file or at the
beginning of your model file:

0 COLOR 0 black 15 34 34 34 255 34 34 34 255
0 COLOR 4 red 0 196 0 38 255 196 0 38 255
0 COLOR 1 blue 0 0 51 178 255 0 51 178 255
0 COLOR 2 green 0 0 127 51 255 0 127 51 255
0 COLOR 7 light-gray 0 170 170 170 255 170 170 170 255

It comes out like this is ldglite (with antialiased lines enabled).

That should make for a clearer printout.
