Description
(If this is not the right place to ask this question, please let me know. Thank you.)
In my printer properties -> Job options I have the filter "print-color-mode" color/monochrome
I have not added this filter "manually/by myself". It was automatically installed.
-
Question: What/who did install this filter? Was it cups? Was it system-config-printer ?
-
Question: What is the purpose of this? What does this filter do?
-
Question: When I try to change this setting from color to monochrom and press "Apply", then it automatically goes back to "Color". Why? Is this normal?
-
Question: When I press the "-" to delete this filter and after press "Apply", then it automatically brings this filter back. Why? Is this as it should be?
Animation to 2. and 3.

- I can print s/w with my printer, although the setting "print-color-mode" is set to "color". Would I become a better s/w print quality, when I would be able to change this filter to "monochrome"?
Thank you.
