Summary 0007899: color printing after preview fails
Description I want to print one of my saved files (with colors). It prints in greyscale.
Steps To Reproduce open a saved file.
choose PRINT
then the button PREVIEW
under print settings the option "print in Gaayscale" ist set
delete the mark

problem: the print button is grayed out, you can only close the window. When you reopen it, the otpion "print in Grayscale" is set again.

printing in color by choosing ohter ways like FILE-PRINT-PRINT
prints it in grayscale too!!!!

When I create a new file, all works well.

I found it!!!
When I want to print I must look in the printer setup window under OPTIONS and choose there "print in color if available". Only then the printer prints colors... (my problem)
but
1. I tried FILE-PRINT-PREVIEW
only the button CLOSE is availabe
when I change the option "print in grayscale if available" (unmark it), close the window and reopen it it's marked again
2. I tried FILE-PRINT PREVIEW
the buttons CLOSE and/or PRINT are available
when I change the option "print in grayscale if available" (unmark it), close the window and reopen it it's marked again
so this option seems to be temporary, only for this printing,
but why is only the button CLOSE available (1)?

Print button is available only when calling print preview from file dialog as it will open the print dialog. Making it available when print dialog is already open makes no sense.

ok, so there should be no button visible then.

But
when color mode ist set under
FILE-PRINT
in SETUP PRINTER OPTIONS the color mode ist selected for this file
then I go to preview and choose print in Grayscale, CLOSE this window and print
(without looking at this window, what a shame) it's printed in color.

So in other programs I have a printer dialog and a print preview dialog, from which I have a print button.

It seems you are confusing print preview settings and print settings. Print preview is just print preview and does not affect print dialog in any way. Modifying print preview settings won't modify any settings in print dialog.

Sorry for misunderstanding.....
I see your intention, but as I said
then there shouldn't be a print button visible there
because "print in grayscale" in the preview window doesn´t mean print but means:
show grayscale, look at it, find it ok, choose this opion in another window and print it from the print window.

We should change some strings in the lower right part of the Print Preview dialog, so that it's clear that these are printer _emulation_ settings.
