I have the same issue, and I think it's not a problem of LO but of CUPS. I can't print in grayscale from ANY application. At least in LO I can make the workaround choosing PS, but what can I do with the other software? I think reverting to PS printing would fix this, but I can't find how to do it, and I'm also worried of creating new problems caused by the "regression".

When you export as a PDF, there is no option at all for specifying color or not. That is what Bug 47278 apparently seeks. THIS bug (61192) has to do with printing documents from LO with the new PDF engine ignoring the file->print->properties->device->color setting. It produces a color print job regardless. Has nothing to do with PDF files or PDF exporting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Seems odd to classify it as a feature request, but whatever ya gotta do! As far as specifying with the printer- yes, on most PPD files for color printers, there is an option for choosing color or non-color. I believe the one we use has such an option.

Regression - to me this is basically an enhancement request. While I understand that you're saying our default used to be PS and bw worked, now it's PDF and it doesn't, the feature wasn't implemented into print to PDF and therefore it's an additional feature you are requesting. But this is a tough case which I will be bringing up during our next QA call, basic question is: "what constitutes a regression, is it end user experience regardless of it's not the same exact feature being looked at" or is it "a feature that used to behave like x, now does not, and therefore is a regression" Personally I lean towards #2, especially in this case as you can still do PS printing and get the behavior you are looking for. Lastly, unless I am mistaken you can use the printer itself to just print in grayscale, even if the document is in color, because of this alone I think this is quite minor -> very easy workaround. Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere. For now: Marking as: New - confirmed Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, can slightly slow it down Low - easy work around for anyone who wants to print grayscale, simply use the printer settings to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

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. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
