416473 - Output of printed images is black and white

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 399388

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

I tried to print out directions with Google maps with current trunk build, but the result was very bad.
The printed images are black and white, no gray areas, which means the images are hardly usable to see the roads.

And I think it also refused to print some route text once, but I have to recheck that.

Anyway, this makes printing Google Maps directions impossible with current trunk build, because the result is ugly, almost unusable.

Attachment: example image that prints awful

This image, for example, prints awfully (black and white) in current trunk build, while it prints just fine on branch (also gray areas).

Reed mentioned this might be related to bug 415425.
I don't know, that one seems linux only.
But I guess it's very likely to be a thebes issue, too.

I'm pretty sure this is the same as bug 399388 -- can you attach information about your printer to that bug?  I haven't been able to reproduce this with any of our printers here are the office, so it's been a pain to debug :(

Yeah, it's that bug, thanks. I can attach information about my printers to that bug (I tried this with too different printers).
