Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u318697]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5

On the page given and others, text with the colour class cMGrey	prints as black, while text with the colour class, say, cRed prints in red as it should, yet the two are apparently defined identically both in the html and in the stylesheet.  I won't attempt to include the html here, but you can view the page source, the relevant section of the css code is:
	.cRed		{ color:Red; }
	.cGreen		{ color:Green; }
	.cBlue		{ color:Blue; }
	.cCyan		{ color:#00FFFF; }
	.cMagenta	{ color:#FF00FF; }
	.cDGrey		{ color:#404040; }
	.cMGrey		{ color:#808080; }


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
View the example page in print preview.

Actual Results:  
Text that is grey in the browser prints as black, while text that is coloured prints as coloured.

Expected Results:  
Text that is grey in the browser should print as grey.

Meant to say, the problem doesn't manifest itself in Opera 9.6 or IE6

Could this be related to colour management?

The bug is still here with Firefox 7.0.1 (tested with Linux and Windows)

Bug still here with Firefox 14.0.1, tested on Windows 7 64-bit. It is quite disturbing given that I need to print a gray "CONFIDENTIAL" text watermark on the whole page, under a black text. The result is a black watermark under a black text => not readable.

Bug is still present in Firefox 19 beta and 20 (Aurora) alpha.
