Description Yves Delannoy 2013-12-14 17:35:45 UTC
Problem description: 
   In libreoffice 3.4 or before (on Ubuntu 12.04LTS or CentOS6.4), selecting the "black and white" option in tab "LibreOffice Impress" or "LibreOffice Draw" of the "Print" dialog window translated color images into greyscale equivalents. The color background in impress translated white, which made it possible to produce printable copies of color presentations very easily...
   This possibility seems to have disappered in LibreOffice 4.0.4 (which came last week with CentOS6.5) and also in LibreOffice 4.1.3 (that I installed separately on CentOS6.5 to test).
   This makes the black and white option totally unuseful !

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open or create an impress or draw document including a jpg image 
2. print it with option "black and white" and "print in a file"
3. look at the resulting pdf file

Current behavior:
  Black and white pdf file with text and lines, but without images (they are replaced by white zones with a black border)

Expected behavior:
  Black and white pdf file with black text and lines, and images converted in greyscale


              
Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

output of 'print on pdf' from libreoffice3

This is the correct output, as it was generated by libreoffice 3.4 or before (i.e. the version included in CentOS6.4 and before)
