There's no obvious error, it just prints blank pages. However ... fooling around with it again, I find that if I set:
Color > ColorModel: Greyscale and Advanced > Ink Type: Black
... then it prints, but stock settings give only blanks. "Preview" shows blank pages, so it seems to be related to ink darkness or something. The printer obviously thinks it's doing what it should.
The background colour is forced to white to avoid using up all your ink/toner if you have a dark theme, but the foreground (eg text) colours are not changed since you might *want* the ones chosen. Of course that may get you white text on a white background.
The solution is to select a theme with a light background to print. There is an enhancement proposal to have a specific theme for printing, but "somebody" has to implement it.
However I can only select
Range > All Pages
... never 'Current Page'.
Thats in the system print dialog (or at least the GTK one) so we don't control what options it presents. I guess it depends on the print driver if specific pages can be selected.
Thanks Lex
