I have scanned pages into png (jpg print ok :D) they are white with black text. they are into 2 colors (black and white) and in small resolution. Generally they are scanned the way we scanne text.
when I use kipi plugins to print images, all of them came out from printer black with white text!
I event print them into pdf and the same result.
Now I am using gThumb which print them correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. scan printed page into png in 2 colours and small resoulution
2. print pages using kipi plugins

Actual Results:

I have to use non kde apps to handle that (gnome app :/ )

Expected Results:  
the pages should be printed the way are displayed on computer screen

Comment 4 Benni Hill 2012-12-02 12:51:05 UTC

I can reproduce this with your PNG (in gwenview and digikam).

As a workaround you could use okular to print this PNG.

Comment 5 Angelo Naselli 2012-12-03 10:14:59 UTC

If you print to pdf, does it work instead?

No, same result, and also when printing to ps.

Comment 7 Smit Mehta 2012-12-08 08:05:13 UTC

I confirm this. Printing to pdf, and ps results in color inversion. However printing to jpg doesn't. 

@masterdany88 As a workaround, kindly print it in jpg format and then print it on your printer, or do it using okular as suggested above. We will look into this.
