Right now I'm trying to find out how to change the edge colors on my
printouts so they are clearer (eg change the edge color for red to black
instead of the pinkish color it is now) and although I have dug up various
snippets of info they don't yet add up to an answer.

With LDLite, you can add lines to the main DAT files to control the colors.
To modify red, you'd add a line like:

0 COLOR 4 red 0 196 0 38 255 196 0 38 255

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.
