Description masterdany88 2012-12-02 11:55:27 UTC 
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
3.
Actual Results:  
I am getting black background with white letters.
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

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.

This problem is not reproducible with last 5.0.0.
I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open it if necessary.
