Bug Description

After the Focal upgrade, my Ricoh laser printer began printing solid black over every page. The image was still legible but the page looked like a sheet of carbon paper with massive black toner waste.

The problem was a new printer option "Black Over Print" which surfaced in Focal and defaulted to "On". It had to be turned "Off" to restore the previous behavior. Please determine why "On" was chosen as a reasonable default for this option, because it's not :-)
