SUMMARY

Changing background color via Accessibility settings also changes printed background color

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a non-white color in Settings->Accessibility->Change colors->Change paper color
2. Print document
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The printed paper also has the non-white background color.

EXPECTED RESULT
The printed paper should still have the white background. Only the screen display should have the background color selected in Accessibility settings.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.115.0

In addition, what makes this even more annoying is that the Print Preview still shows the background color as white, as it should be. So the problem doesn't become apparent until the document is actually printed.

Hi - I can't reproduce this on a current version of Okular (24.12.3).

Please note that Okular 23.08.5 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE.

KDE projects typically move quickly, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Okular 24.12.3 as soon as your distribution offers it to you, or use other application distribution methods such as Flathub. If you need support for Okular 23.08.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older software in their "long-term support" releases.

If you are still able to reproduce this issue in Okular 24.12.3, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!

Do Not use unmaintained for things that are fixed. Either use fixed or worksforme. Unmaintained means the software is unmaintained.
