Hi Guys,
I am using PCLinuxOS from the image that Alexandre Couture created and have discovered an odd printing behaviour.
If I click on print from any PDF or Image it prints OK first time. If I then try to print a second copy or close the application and try to print something else the print dialogue comes up frozen. If I click on exit a few times it will tell me that "Kprint" is not responding and give me the opertunity to terminate it.
After this I cannot print anything at all without restarting the machine. However when I get back to the desktop, I get the message that there is no default printer and to use the "--all" switch. ?? Clearing the error message allows me to continue as normal. Untill I print something.
I have tried the various dialogues but seem unable to find or access my printer.
Don't laugh, I'm still using my HP Deskjet 500 MK1 from over thirty years ago. I long as I can keep refilling the cartridge with ink it will continue to be in use !
Thanks guys:
This will not help you but I can confirm, that printing on an HP Deskjet 500 with the repository of Slávek (3.5.13.2) works fine under Ubuntu.
