[Bug 36414] Evolution refuses to print in grayscale

[ShamrockUK]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Evolution appears to not acknowledge system printer settings on a stock
Ubuntu Breezy install.

It always prints out emails with blue email addresses and with a thin
colour border around the whole page - this slows down printing as well
as using a large amount of a single colour over a period of time.

I've selected grayscale in the printer properties yet this doesn't seem
to have stopped it. OpenOffice (and all other apps) print colours in
grayscale without complaining, but Evolution persists and I can't find
any internal printer settings in the programme itself.

My printer is a HP Deskject 840C and the exact colour settings under the
'advanced' tab of printer properties are:

300dpi, draft, greyscale, black + colour cartridge

'Printout mode' under this is listed as "draft greyscale".


Cheers guys :)
