Bug#843671: okular: Okular does not print b/w as requested
Control: tag -1 + upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252596 ¡Hola Heinrich! El 2016-11-08 a las 18:16 +0100, Heinrich Schuchardt escribió: Package: okular Version: 4:16.08.2-1 Severity: normal I open a colored pdf. In the print dialogue I choose Optionen -> Einstellungen -> Graustufen (options -> settings -> gray scale) The printout on my HP Deskjet 3630 Series, hpcups 3.16.10 occurs in color. This is a really old upstream issue. It seems that for some users using a different printing backend in cups fixes the issue (that is, switching from a hplip driver to a foomatic one). My random guess is that okular is sending the option in a way that is interpreted only by some printing drivers. If possible, please, send a new comment to the upstream bug [1], sometimes a little nudge goes a long way. As an alternative pdf viewer, qpdfview seems to handle printing somewhat better (I'm not sure about gray scale, my printer is black and white, :) ), although it's in general not as feature full as okular.
