Print as black/white function

In "Print" , colored documents can be printed as greyscale. Could you add print as black/white function? Tint colors printed as greyscale are hard to recognize.

You hope than into B&W mode tint colors will be recognized!?

A sample document would be helpful, but I assume that the document contains some text with light shades. Pale yellow text disappears completely when printed as grayscale, though it is visible in the preview. Perhaps an option is needed to print all colours except white as black.

Such a feature would actually be very useful. Imagine you are printing a drawing or a schematic on a laser printer. The red or yellow lines (if there are such colors, and sometimes this is true) will be almost invisible.
In fact, I think this can be achieved via a "Replace Document Colors" feature which is present both in Adobe Reader and Foxit.
Another usage example is when you have a document with black (or dark) background and you want to print it. You'll go to the "Document Colors Options" and invert the colors. I can provide sample documents for both cases but I think is clear what I mean.
Please consider this as a feature request!
Thanks!
Ben

Will the attachment do as example?

ok, now understood you need the function "All colors in black".

Will try to add this into an upcoming build as soon as possible.

Yes, this is what I need.
Also Ben's "Replace Document Colors" request would be a useful one. For documents with dark backgrounds, all colors printed in black will also make it unrecognizable.

Ok - thanks.
