Summary: In PDF printing mode greyscale printing not possible
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Component: Printing and PDF export
Product: LibreOffice
In LO 4 when in PDF printing mode, it is not possible to print documents to
color postscript printers in greyscale mode using the "Color" options in the
print dialog. This might only affect Linux/CUPS and possible MacOS/CUPS
printing with postscript printers.
Steps to reproduce:
* On a Linux system with CUPS printing, open LibreOffice in PDF printing mode.
* Start Writer or Draw or Calc and create a document that contains color
objects.
* File-> Print-> General, select a color postscript printer.
* File-> Print-> General-> Properties-> Device-> Color select "Greyscale"
* Print the document and it will still print in color.
If you change to Postscript printing mode (uncheck Tools-> Options->
LibreOffice-> Print-> Printer-> "PDF as Standard Print Job Format") and perform
this test, the job will print in greyscale instead of color.
With our Color Xerox Phaser there is a suitable workaround because in the PPD
there is a variable called "Color Correction." That can be set to "Black and
White" under "device" in the LO print dialog and it works under both PDF and PS
printing. But not all printers will have such an option and users wishing to
avoid unnecessary, expensive color printing might have no options (other than
to change to postscript printing mode).
Tested with LibreOffice 4.0.0 under RHEL 6 using CUPS 1.4.2 and traditional PPD
files.
