            Bug ID: 308768
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.9.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kde-print-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Changing printer to "Print To File" should set
                    printout to color
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: kde at privat.broulik.de
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: print-dialog
           Product: kdelibs

I have a black and white laser printer as default printer. Often I just print a
PDF of something. When I open the printer dialog, the laserprinter is selected
and since it is black and white, the printout is set to greyscale. When I
change it to "Print To File (PDF)" it stays this way but when creating a PDF
off something I think the user should explicitly have to set it to greyscale,
otherwise it should be color.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a black and white printer and have it as default printer
2. Open some KDE app and click Print
3. Select "Print To File (PDF)" in the printer selection (also true for
Postscript, I guess)
4. Don't touch the other settings
5. Print
Actual Results:  
The PDF is generated in greyscale

Expected Results:  
The PDF is generated in color. Only if I explicitly want it in greyscale (ie.
open the advanced settings and say "Greyscale") it should be that way.
