When the currently selected printer is black/white only, we should not allow the user to choose color printing in the UI.
The interface for the printer includes a .supportsColor promise which can provide the necessary info.

This is verified fixed using Firefox 81.0a1 (BuildId:20200823211533) on Windows 10 64bit, macOS 10.14 & Ubuntu 20.04.
The color printing option is no longer displayed if the destination is set to a printer that supports only black&white printing.

On Ubuntu 16.04, my color printers (a Canon ix6820 as well as a Canon ip3600) are definitely color printers however, FF81 as of 8/22/20, the print option is disabling their ability to print color. Please reopen this as not yet resolved.

That's bug 1660658. This is the opposite problem. :)

This bug fix is to prevent black & white printers to have a print in color selection. Instead of just preventing black & white printers from color printing, the fix now prevents some color printers from printing in color.

Could someone please change the status of this bug as the current fix only works in some environments?

Since this bug no longer occurs, and since we have a new bug for the other problem you've mentioned, we should leave this bug as FIXED, and do the followup work over there, otherwise tracking the status of the feature would be much more difficult. Thanks for understanding!
