Issue ID: 125850
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: No colour print output when using postscript printer
driver on OS/2
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: PC
OS: OS/2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: printing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When printing a document containing coloured text from Writer the coloured text
is printed in greyscale.
The same document printed from OpenOffice 1.1.5 Writer prints in colour.
This suggests there is probably something wrong with the printer output from
AOO4.1.1
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo RX585 which is a raster printer.
I am using the OS/2 ports of cups2.0, ghostscript9.15 and gutenprint5.2.10 as
my raster-to-postscript-to pdf-to-raster printer "driver".
I posted the problem on an OS/2 specific forum and had a response that suggests
the problem is within the postscript output generated by AOO4.1.1; the response
stated that they had encountered the same problem but when they switched the
printer driver in use to a driver supplied in the IBM OS/2 Omni driver package
there was no problem printing in colour.
The IBM OS/2 Omni driver is a raster printer driver and, sadly, is too old to
support my printer but the cups "driver" works well for all other apps that I
print from.
Here is the OS/2 forum discussion response mentioned above

I do suspect that this is an OS/2 specific problem.
