Color/Greyscale selection not working on a Develop ineo+ 203

[charlie2alpha]

I had the same problem when I tried the google chrome connector service, no matter what I select everything will be printed per the printing default selected in CUPS. The printer however does provide an option. Here's the lpoptions -l output:

as it is obvious, "SelectColor" is what works with this printer but there's no way to configure that with this cups-connector. With the Google Chrome connector service I could at least do it by changing the advanced settings, the Chrome connector service exposes all of them, gcp-cups-connector does not.

I can fix this in the CUPS Connector. A similar situation exists for certain HP printers; see #87 for more information.

Your printer also has the non-standard KMDuplex option, which will require a lot more work, and I'm not likely to do that work soon; see #88 for more.

Are you building from source, or using the released binaries?

[charlie2alpha]

I build it from the source directly.

I found some Kyocera PPDs that use SelectColor. Can you send me your PPD so that I know I got it right?

[jacobmarble]

Thanks for the PPD.

If you're handy with git, then you're welcome to try out this patch. Otherwise, just go get when this issue is auto-closed.

I just tried it, it works! Thank you very much.
