Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
Created a document in Libre Writer.
Selected "print"
Chose "properties" for printer
Went to the "Device" tab
Selected "Print Quality"
Selected "Normal Grayscale".
When doing the above, my print job would error out. If I left the settings default, it would print which would be fine except at best it wastes color ink and at worst it prints nothing (no color ink left).

Looks like a problem with the hpcups driver: prnt/hpcups/ Pcl3Gui. cpp 75: Requested resolution not supported with requested printmodeprnt/ hpcups/ HPCupsFilter. cpp 420: m_Job initialization failed with error = 25
Can you try changing the driver to "hpijs" in System > Administration > Printing (system- config- printer) :
Right-click your printer > Properties > Make and Model > Change ...
Does it print grayscale now?
