153926 - can't print black on white when browser setting are white on black.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135588

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[bbz]

print setting should *not* always mirror what is shown to the user.  my setting
are white on black:

text and background
text: white
background: black
[ ] use system colors
(X) Use my chosen colors

but i can't print pages black on white.  i may be a reverse video nut, but that
does not mean i want my print-outs to be in reverse video too!  a white on black
printouy wastes lots of ink or toner and is quite ugly.  for now the workaround
is to change my mozilla color settings every time i want to print, which is
annoying to say the least.

mozilla (for example, 1.1beta)? if so, please comment again with details. if
not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.

this is still happening in a cvs build made yesterday.  i tried both "color" and
"greyscale" options for the printer (it's a greyscale but color was selected by
default), and both were white-on-black.
