153363 - Prtinting in sharp B&W

Status: NEW

(Core :: Printing: Output, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Andrew Thomas]

Nerscape 4.x had an options on the File / Page Setup form

Print Black Lines
Print Black Text

Can't find such an option in Mozilla.

Result - many web pages with color and shaded lines and text print on B&W
printers (Mostly Laser) in shades of grey which is much harder to read.

Please add these features to Mozilla

"Confirming" - we do not have an API (in nsIPrintSettings) to do anything else
than "color" or "grayscale".
IMHO we should change that field and make it an |enum| with the options { color,
grayscale, black&white }

rods ?

Adding
@media print { * { color: black !important; border-color: black !important; } }
to userContent.css should take care of this. All we need is UI for adding/removing this rule to the user style level.
