I have ChemStation A.09.03 and need to darken the chromatograph. When it prints you can barely see it. Can it be adjusted some how?

I might look at your printer settings first. Is the entire report page too light? Or is it just the chromatogram?

See above link, was my issue then.
Also:
Common Agilent ChemStation PCS Colors
0 255 0 green
0 255 255 light blue
255 0 255 purple
0 0 128 dark purple
255 255 255 yellow
0 0 255 blue
0 0 0 black
255 255 255 white
Chromatography traces darker for printing on Laserjet printers:
Exit ChemStations, use Configuration Editor, Configure colors, to change Signal 1 from default blue (0 0 255) to dark purple (0 0 128), then Save the configuration. This will print darker on a black Laserjet printer, especially when the printer is set up to print 2 or 4 sheets to a page of paper.
This changes (in the Windows\win.ini file) the line in the [PCS,1] section that had been DEChrom1=0 0 255 to DEChrom1=0 0 128. So this change can also be made in the Windows\win.ini file directly, and saved, and would then become active next time the ChemStation is initialized.

Thank you for the information. I adjusted my printer to the most advanced setting and still no change. I will try to change the color next.
