------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 14 13:40:43 +0000 2007 ------- OS: Scientific Linux 4.4 (derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.x sources, like CentOS). Printer: HP Deskjet 3745. It has 2 cartridges, one black and one colour. HP provides a utility that reports about how much remaining ink each cartridge has. The bug: I was printing a document yesterday, when I found out that after some printing in (soft) black text, the rest of the text was printing in green. I made sure for some times that the characters in Writer were in (dark) black, but the issue persisted. However the green text printing was starting at different lines sometimes. Puzzled from this, I checked few times the HP utility that reports about how much ink there is on each cartridge, and both the black one and the colour one were low. I placed a new black cartridge and found out that the problem persisted. After few black lines, the rest of characters were printed in green. Then I realised that it was using the colour cartridge for the black, and not the black cartridge! When I changed the printer settings in OpenOffice.Org 2.1 Writer and selected "Normal Greyscale (Black cartridge)" instead of the preselected "Normal (Color cartridge) in "Device::Resolution::Printout Mode", the dark black text was printed in dark black well, by obviously using the new black cartridge. So in summary, the bug is that the black text is printed by using the colour cartridge instead of the black one! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
