thanks for the hint, and the links, even i do not think its that problem,
i have the problem when i set the printer to color mode,
both printers are set to color mode, and if i set to grey,
both printers are set to gray, and if i set to "auto"
both printers are set to "auto"
but for sure updating is not a bad idea, i will do when having
some spare time.

do you know in what file the settings are stored (and overwrite the
default settings in the .ppd-file)?
