Bug 188934

Version:           3.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

i'm using the obsidian coast theme in kubuntu jaunty alpha 1.

when i print a plain-text (no syntax highlighting) file from kate, it comes out with very faint text -- printed in the light grey that is the foreground color for the obsidian theme.

when i switch to the oxygen theme, the textbox in kate remains in the old colors; restarting kate gives me the black-on-white text which then prints as expected.

i expected kate to print plain text as black on white.  i realize that i am asking for a printed page that doesn't resemble the on-screen page, but i think the justification for that is quite simple: what makes easy readability on the screen is different from what makes easy readability on a printed page.  

for me, the best solution would be an option in the color modes (printer settings):
menu --> file --> print --> options (button) -->  options (tab) --> color mode

currently the options are for color or grayscale -- i would add an option for "black and white".  or more to the point, "black on white".
