When I said "open LibreOffice in PDF printing mode" I meant to launch LibreOffice, and make sure you are in the PDF printing mode for the test. LibreOffice currently has two ways to deal with printing (at least it does under Linux, I don't use MacOS or MS-Windows, so I can't speak to those). Recently it was switched to be PDF mode, which is the new default method of printing for LibreOffice. This means that when LibreOffice prints, it actually generates a PDF file and sends that to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System). This is relatively new behavior. The other/older/traditional method is that LibreOffice creates a Postscript file when you print and sends that to CUPS. The mode is controlled via Tools-> Options-> LibreOffice-> Print-> Printer-> "PDF as Standard Print Job Format." The default is PDF (the box will be checked). If you uncheck the box, you will be notified to restart LibreOffice and then printouts will be generated in PS (PostScript) instead of PDF (Portable Document Format). Since greyscale printing used to work under PS printing and now it does not under PDF, I consider it a regression. The field that controls if the output should be color or black and white does nothing useful anymore. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
