Inside Finale itself, all you can achieve is to print the colours as they appear on the screen (layers, expressions, etc), exactly as defined in "program options".
In the print window, find the Finale-specific printing options and select "Print Display colours".
If you want more, you'll have to export the file and work on it in a graphic program (Illustrator, Corel Draw,...), a bit more complicated.

HI... I was playing with the print options and was able to print in color.. When I hit (Print Parts) it gave me a menu with all sorts of stuff on it.. However I just tried it again an it wont give me the same page... Back to the drawing board...
