After some more investigation it turns out, that apparently this is due to an unfortunate selection of (unaltered) default settings.
In the KDE4 system panel printing settings, the color Mode is set to follow the "Print out Mode", which renders any color selection in the Options >> pane of the KDE4 print dialog useless. Setting the default color mode to either Greyscale or Color _allows_ to set the per-print color mode in the Options >> Options, Color Mode pane. This behaviour may be entirely dependend on the printer PPD, color printers which do not have "print out modes" (actually an arangement of pre-defined default settings) may not be affected by this behaviour. My suggestions is to set the default value for the color setting of color-printers - which have Print out Modes - which affect the color NOT to follow "Print out Mode" but to Color. By doing so, the user can set per-print modes in Options >> which is much more obvious than setting them in Properties. -- Print dialog does not honor color setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
