Bug Description
- Open a document in qpdfview
- Go to File/Print
- Click on the "Options" button
- Select the "Options" tab
- Under "Color Mode" make sure "Color" is selected (as opposed to "Grayscale"), which it is by default
- Print
Expected: should print in color (if the printer is capable of that, of course)
Observed: it may print in Grayscale if that's the printer's current/default setting.
In fact, if you click on the "Properties" button next to the selected printer, a window pops up with printer properties, and there is an "Advaced" tab. In that tab, there are several printer settings whose value are listed but you CANNOT CHANGE. I guess the exact set of settings may depend on the printer. In my case there's a "Print Quality" setting whose default value is "Draft Grayscale". In ALL other software, when opening the printer settings, I would be allowed to change this setting and select for example "Normal Color" or "Draft Color". Here I cannot change the current setting which is Draft Grayscale despite having selected Color in qpdfview's own settings.

Hi Teo, thank you for the feedback. You reported the bug against the qpdfview package instead of the project, which is also hosted on Launchpad. I therefore add your bug reports to the porject's bug tracker.
