[SOLVED] Evince Cannot Print Color PDF

glenjo · 2026-04-01 07:54:19

So I went to print out a color PDF document, and it printed in black and white. I checked to see if there was a default icc for the printer, and there was not so I set the default plain paper icc profile. At that point cups just failed to print. Here's the cups error log for the job:

So after checking all that out, I used Okular, and it printed out in color with no issues.

So I don't think the error is with cups, but maybe an interaction between evince and cups. Here's the version information for cups and evince:

I saw the other posts on evince printing problems. Maybe this is related. I'm not sure; I'm pretty stumped.

TIA!

No color config option in the print dialog?

Ha! You nailed it!

Under the Advanced tab in the Print dialog box was a Color drop down box to select Color or Mono. Selected Color and print worked just fine.

Thank you!
