Are there any updates on this? I have never needed or used the printing functionality before. I started trying it now as Typora, the markdown software I was using, changed to paid software. So I thought to give Geany a shot as being the new editor. For me, I do a lot of export to pdf, which Geany does not provide as an option, even in extensions from what I can see. I can however print to file -> PDF. I am using `Kugel` appearance and my print output is as described here... a white page with text I cannot read, it is almost white.

Just sharing my opinion, I see little need for color printing in Geany. Maybe I am wrong and others do. That said, I concur with the idea of making the default print output as monochrome, maybe even with the ability to change the opacity of the printing, like 50% to 100% or something.

I wanted to add my scenario so current circumstance that this is needed, is an issue, can be seen. While Geany is not really a "markdown editor", I think it now has more use to me. Any time I can reuse existing software, that is a good thing :)
