With Lucid close to end-of-life, this bug is now ancient history and should probably be retired. I've not had this problem on Ubuntu 12.04.

I set the default options in CUPS to this setting. If I don't do this, I get a 80-90% grey, which looks like I need to replace the black cartridge. The workaround was successful in Feisty, Gutsy and Hardy. Now that I've moved to 10.04, I've discovered that most programs will not make use of this option. They print out in dark grey instead of black, which does not look very professional. There are three exceptions that I've found: OpenOffice.org, MSWord 2000 through Wine, and Scribus. All these programs use their own printer dialogues instead of the standard one used by the other programs I've tested (geany, gedit, Firefox, Tomboy notes, evince). I booted up a 9.10 live CD and found the same problem there. If I choose "print test page" in CUPS, it prints correctly in full black. There's an error message in cups.log (attached) which I think is irrelevant to this report. It happened when I was trying to reconfigure something and it crashed.
