(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

IIRC, there used to be a Printer UI option in Netscape 4.x to print all Text in
Black. Not sure why this feature never made it to Moz/FF, but it would be nice
to be able to Print and Read any Colored Text webpages in BLACK only. If this is
a dupe, or feature request I appologize, but I did search the 200 some Printer
UI bugs filed <sigh>. I kill lots of trees, and the Printing UI has needed an
update for many years.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find page with colored text... http://www.linux-sec.net/Harden/services.gwif.html
2. Print page to color printer, no option exists in Printer UI anymore to turn
off color text.
3. Yellow is very hard to read on paper.

Actual Results:  
Yellow Text is very hard to read on white paper.

Expected Results:  
Black Text is easy to read on white paper. Old, tired eyes are happier...
