Ah, yes, I see. OK, fixed that, although I can't seem to edit the bug
report title.

No, I didn't know about the gaf utility at all -- but I had already
found the '(print-color "disabled")' directive in gschemrc, which does
the same system-wide.
Yet it would be nice to simply choose between color and b&w on an ad-hoc
basis: color is often very useful, e.g. when sharing PDF schematics with
clients where I want to draw attention to certain changes by marking
them in bright red.
But when printing the same schematic here on my ancient laser printer,
black & white is far better for readability.

Thanks already,
