I think QPrintPreviewDialog reflects page related options only, so some
QPrinter related settings like colorMode and resolution can't be previewed
with the dialog.

Also as you have mentioned that profile2 is missing grey scale capability
so I think we may need to remove 'print in color' check box which is in my
opinion useless, because user can still select printing color mode from
option tab in QPrintDialog which will affect the actual printing and not
the previewDialog.
