Thank you for your answer.

It's certainly not how it was in 3.6 though: I used Black & White printing (to
PDF) of my presentations then, and it did print images. My slideshows always
have the same opening slide, so it is not about me suddenly using low-contrast
images either. It has only changed since the upgrade to 4.0. I don't know about
tresholds and programming LibreOffice, but I do know that it changed.

Grayscale does not work for me: my presentations have yellow lettering on a
blue background (plus pictures etc.). When I choose grayscales printing, the
background becomes dark and the lettering white (more or less). I use this
presentations for teaching, and I need B&W PDFs that I can put online for my
students to print. It is important, therefore, to have dark lettering on a
white background: that saves tons of ink. I can adjust the master slide in a
few clicks to get a white background; but it would take me a lot of time to
change the colouring of text, lines, arrows etc. on all my slides for every
single class slideshow (I wanted to make a macro for that, but I cannot record
macros in Presentation: even with recording macros turned on under unstable
options in the Options menu, it does not appear in the menu; it does in Writer,
but not in Presentation).

So I was very happy when I found out that B&W printing does exactly what I
want: turn the background to white and all texts etc. to black - and rather
unhappy to find this new issue (luckily, my wife still has 3.6, so I could use
her laptop for the PDF 'conversion' this week; which again shows that the
problem is new in 4.0). Actually, I wonder how this can be 'as intended'. Not a
single one of my images appears: they all just become white boxes. Isn't
including images one of the main reasons to use Presentation? So why would one
printing option simply exclude all images?
