'print to file' in the latest OOO32m12 uses the settings from the choosen
printer. So it happens, that depending on the capabilities, the colors are
changed to black/white instead which must not happen.
*to reproduce this problem:
1. Set two local printer (Cups server), one for color, while another for
black&white. Specifically, on SLED 11, you can follow the following details to
get it done:
.. start yast2
.. select "Hardware/Printer/Printer Configuration"
.. press the button "Add"
.. Press the button "Connection Wizard"
.. Click on "Print via Print Server Machine/CUPS Server" and enter:
+ hostname: localhost
+ queue name: local-color
+ printer manufacturer: Epson
.. press the button OK
.. Assign the drived (a color one. e.g. Epson AcuLaser C2000PS
Foomatic/lj4dith)
.. press button "OK" to add this "virtual" printer
.. repeat the above steps and use:
+ queue name: local-bw
+ driver (a black&white one. e.g. Epson EPL-5900PS
Foomatic/pxlmono)
.. press "OK" to save this printer setting
2. Start oowriter; create text with various colors.
3. Select "File/Print"
4. Select "Printer name" "Epson-color"
5. Enable the check box "Print to file"
6. press "OK", enter the file name "test-color.ps" and press "OK"
7. repeat the steps 12-14, just choose the black&white printer and save the
result in "test-bw.ps"
8. view both ps files (for example using ghostview from the package ghostview)
*Problem:
"test-bw.ps" includes just black&white text, it was effected
by the printer setting; it is wrong because "print to file" should generate
printer-independent postscript; the generated postript should not be affected
by the selected printer.
So user will expect both postscript should include text with colors.
