system-config-printer printer option window on job options page with
print-color-mode option highlighted

My guess is, that this bug is related to a changed CUPS behavior. See
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/421 and
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/system-config-printer/issues/312. Namely, a
default job option is set (print-color-mode monochrome/color) that does not
seem to be overridden when selecting the color mode in the Advanced settings
tab. It is not clear to me whether Okular is at fault here, but it possibly is,
as system-config-printer does expose this job option.

In any case—but this is likely bigger than this bug—it would be good if the
print dialog also exposes the color mode for physical printers as it now does
for print-to-pdf in the Options tab, next to the Double Sided Printing option.
