this one doesn't work for me. i have a massive test list of dives and
with "print selected dives" not selected, i expect it to print the
entire list, instead it prints only a single page with two dives.

does not work. the profile is still printed in color no matter the
print dialog selection.
do you simply attempt to greyscale the profile image before rendering
on the HTML?

note that when Tomaz implemented "profile2" we lost the support for
greyscale print support.
i believe that was in qt-ui/profilegraphics.cpp via the "isGreyscale" flag.
profile2 does not have that, so for now converting the rendered image
to greyscale is the fast and simple solution.
but using our pre-defined colors via the "// Monochromes" list in
colors.h is nice-to-have.
