Public bug reported: After the Focal upgrade, my Ricoh laser printer began printing solid black over every page. The image was still legible but the page looked like a sheet of carbon paper with massive black toner waste.
The problem was a new printer option "Black Over Print" which surfaced in Focal and defaulted to "On". It had to be turned "Off" to restore the previous behavior. Please determine why "On" was chosen as a reasonable default for this option, because it's not :-) ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880986 Title: Unreasonable "Black Over Print" default value for Ricoh C261SFNw introduced in Focal Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After the Focal upgrade, my Ricoh laser printer began printing solid black over every page.
