Window Colors on final prints

Is it possible to get the windows to print the color that you assign them in the camera view?  I change the window color in the vector view, it converts back to white whenever I go to print, even with print in color on or off.

 

See the attached picture for an example.  I don't necessarily want black like this picture below, but the ability to print windows in any shade would be nice.  Is this possible or is this a feature request?

Open up the camera dialog and go to the render technique to find the "opaque window glass" settings.  You should be able to set it to be a custom color if you want.

That only works when you print in color, not "color off"

The only way I was able to get the attached to work was to adjust all of my material colors to white background with grey lines, and turn off "Apply Shading Contrast".  It gives me what I want but the trade-off will be having to adjust every color in my default materials and in my model so that when printing to PDF everything is in BW or grayscale and no color (since I don't print in color).  So, while it is possible it will mean reworking my entire template and workflow since I currently just check "color off" and in preferences have it set to "print to grayscale" for my final output.

I guess I just think it odd that you have black as black windows and you select greyscale and it converts solid black to white.  Seems like it should keep black as black or dark grey as dark grey.  There is an override in that setting that is causing it to convert windows to white when the "Print in Color" is deselected
