I see.  Well, I hope we get a printing theme then. I do indeed use pure 
black as my background, so I take your point.  When I use other apps to 
print it does the predictable thing and gives me black print on white 
paper, but I can see how that might go horribly wrong if one expects 
colored output.  Mind, I don't get anything at all, pure white pages 
spit out of the printer.

Really?  Only Geany has that problem.  Could it be that somehow the 
wrong printer driver is being called?  I've often wondered about 
that--different apps display different sets of choices as to printer 
setup and you'd think they'd be the same for all.  But maybe it's not 
Geany's issue, as you say.
