I did as you asked. make a two page file (one page with color, the second page only black and white) with open office, then obtain a pdf from it.
Open the pdf file with Document Viewer 2.32.0 and follow the 'Capturing job data' procedure while printing it to the colorQueue of the magicolor2530DL through USB.
