Monochrome and Grayscale printing not working #176

Closed tresf closed 8 years ago

tresf commented 8 years ago

Research shows very few printer drivers support monochrome or grayscale printing. In our 2.0 testing, all tests fail when these options are selected.

Furthermore, the internal logic for 2.0 makes no distinction between MONOCHROME and GRAYSCALE, which are entirely different.

public enum ColorType {
   COLOR(Chromaticity.COLOR),
   GREYSCALE(Chromaticity.MONOCHROME),
   GRAYSCALE(Chromaticity.MONOCHROME),
   BLACKWHITE(Chromaticity.MONOCHROME);
// ...
}

If these aren't trivial implementations, we will need to remove this dropdown from 2.0 until this feature is working/completed.

I just set this option for a Dymo printer and it fixed some major quality problems. Closing as invalid for now.
