line color incorrect during printing

echo702
hello,

i am having trouble printing. i have tried changing layer colour to black and white,  i have selected the black and white box in the print preview screen. and i have changed the line colour to black and white instead of defined by layer.  nothing has worked as when i print i get, what i am assuming is a gray scale, a barely legible drawing.  the lines print but they are pale gray.  i have no problems printing from any other program.

i am running:
fedora 19
librecad 2.0.0
printing to a konica/minolta biz205

I am new to librecad, but not new to cad, so i may have missed something obvious.  

thank you for your time.

First, please upgrade to 2.0.2, if you are using 2.0.0 instead of 2.0.2.

Please upload a testcase dxf to show this bug, with detailed description, and we will fix this type of bug in high priority.

i have only found the librecad 2.0.0 rpm available from the librecad download section.  to get version 2.0.2 would i have to compile it from source?

Please explain in details what's the difference between expected and generated.

If you mean the difference in the following two PDFs:

c1-pale.pdf

c1-solid.pdf

then, this is due to difference in "line-width", as set to 0.5mm in dxf file:

titleblock-solid.dxf
