@ttuuxxx I've just printed OK from Abiword with your CUPS packages. No intervention was required; I choose the 'Generic Postscript' printer and it went to the printer I set as Default in CUPS.ttuuxxx wrote:I just printed with abiword, Keep in mind I never used Linux printing before yesterday really, so this is all new to me, But on the other hand I'm pretty good a compiling and getting things to work, so feel confidentAnyways How does Abiword print, the way I did it was create a PDF and saved it, then opened the pdf and printed it, when I tried 'Generic Postscript' Abiword Crashes, and when I ran it via command line, and tried it again I got this message
# abiword
** (abiword:9606): WARNING **: Can't g_module_open /usr/lib/libgnomeprint/2.18.2/modules/libgnomeprintcups.so
lpr: Error - no default destination available.
Broken pipe
So was the Generic Postscript always broken in Abiword ?
I'll look for a fix

It "just worked" - praise be.

It would eliminate some confusion if the words 'Generic Postscript' could be replaced by 'Default CUPS Printer' (or something to that effect), but I have no idea if that's something that you can influence in the compilation, or if it's too deep down in the code to be accessible.
