I've applied the patch to the version of gtksourceview3 in trusty and verified that it indeed fixes the issue. I'm attaching here the debdiff with the patch applied.
it would be really nice if this could be updated in trusty. Thanks! ** Patch added: "Debdiff to the trusty version with the patch applied" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtksourceview3/+bug/1313283/+attachment/4415722/+files/gtksourceview3-color.debdiff ** Description changed: + [Impact] + Code printed from gedit (or similar programs) will be black & white, even for printing PDFs and also the printer is capable of printing colors. + + [Test Case] + 1) Open any source file with gedit, verify that you see colored highlighting + 2) Print to a PDF file + 3) Open the PDF with evince. It should have the same colors. + + [Regression Potential] + + Nothing evident, the patch is pretty simple and has been applied + upstream for over a year. + + [Original Description follows] + gedit shows syntax highlighting (with default Classic color scheme) properly, yet prints/previews text as black-and-white for a color printer (Xerox Phaser 6180DN in this case). Before 14.04 it used to print properly in color.
