Description Adrian Wilkins 2018-01-17 18:25:37 UTC 
Description:
As per summary, the print preview shows a color page even if the printer has been configured to print in monochrome.

This is confusing to users expecting print previews to match the output.

When coupled with bug #71654 this leads to a lot of paper / toner wastage and frustration (as the color setting is forgotten between jobs but the previews look fine).

Ubuntu 16.04 / Oki C301dn with the default OS drivers.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document in Writer, type a word, change it's colour to red
2. Set printer settings to monochrome
3. View print preview.

Actual Results:  
Text shows as red.

Expected Results:
Text shows as monochrome.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
