====================================================================

Since upgrading to LEAP 15.1, various problems exist.

LibreOffice, (LO), shows two printers whereas Yast, (with which I installed it), only shows one.

Only one of the 2 LO printers shown, prints, but there is no discrimination in the naming shown by LO and so I've learnt to pick the second one, which prints, but either does not receive the correct instructions from LO or is given incorrect instructions in that I always print from the front tray, but, if I do not load the rear feeder, all printing fails due to lack of paper.
I am specific about selecting the Front tray and usually only select the rear tray for thick paper.

When I print, LO tells me that I am printing 120 copies. I'm not, and when I'm desperate, and load the rear holder to get the job done, LO only prints the one copy despite telling me otherwise. That has changed, in earlier days it told me that 20 copies would be made, but weren't.

Often when trying to print from LO, the print dialogue fails to show any mounted printers!

Since 1995 I have been using the 'copy' function that Linux provides by highlighting the text, placing the cursor where I want it, and pressing the middle mouse button, hey presto.

It disappears, then it's there again and then it's gone! It's not funny.

This loss is not limited to LO, it's gone in other editors too.

Anyone else suffering this way?

All help gratefully received :-)

Regards

Chris

You're best advised to separate issues that you're having into separate threads, but respect to your LO printer list...

That is due to 'network printer autodiscovery' at work thanks to Avahi (AKA Bonjour). However, I don't know why apps don't just use the CUPS configured printers. I've seen a number of threads and bug reports that describe this issue (QT apps don't have this issue), and the workarounds described usually involve inhibiting avahi completely, or at the very least ensuring "enable-dbus=no" is set in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

Here's one such old bug report
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user.../msg01030.html
and an example thread
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/unable-t...-printer/30263

Hi ferrari, thanks for your reply. It has not helped.

Firstly, it is not possible for me to tell which of the symptoms I've described is useful information to an expert while I am quite sure that the expert is more than capable of eliminating the chaff.

I've spent a few hours now trying to find out how to prevent avahi from ever starting, without success.

I have checked that "enable-dbus=no", but what I have is

Code:

#use-iff-running=no
#enable-dbus=yes
#disallow-other-stacks=no

which I have interpreted as enable-dbus=no!

Am I wrong? Should I change this explicitly to "enable-dbus=no"?

I would rather be inhibiting avahi completely, but, search though I might, I have not found a way to do this, (that I have understood.)

In Yast services, I set the starting of avahi to 'manual'. Rebooted but avahi still started.

So at the moment I have nothing to tell me that avahi is the source of my problems, but as I have nothing else, I have to stop it running completely so as to eliminate it, at the very least.

Now, please, how can I stop avahi from ever starting?

Regards

Chris

The # character acts to comment out the line, so that the entries are just place-holders (and are there to show what the default settings are as well). So, yes you need to add (uncommented) like this

Code:

enable-debus=no

then restart avahi

Code:

sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon

You may also need to restart the desktop as well.

If you really have no need for avahi (discovery of network services), then you can stop, disable, and mask it like this

Code:

sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon

Code:

sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon

Code:

sudo systemctl disable avahi-socket

Code:

systemctl mask avahi-daemon

No difference detected!

More symptoms encountered though.

I can't tell if they are connected in any way!

Anything highlighted under the cursor, in a terminal, could be pasted where ever I was, but no more. Nor can I use the time honoured controls carried through from Wordstar way back in the distant past, so, highlighting text and using the CTRL C function does not copy and CTRL V does not past. I can, from the pull down menu, use 'copy' and 'paste' where appropriate but this is a backward step.

All those functions work in a text document!

Unlikely, avahi is only used for local network device discovery.

After the last upgrade, or perhaps the one before that, My Epson stopped working again.
I can print wirelessly from windoze and I can use suze to wirelessly print to another wifi epson printer as I could before, but now the WF 5110 ignores me!

I checked back over my discussions with ferrari in 2017 and have retraced every step, to no avail.

during trawling I came across the Open Suze Forum discussion between ferrari and busy penguin!

"Thread: Epson printer driver missing file (that isn't missing)"

I've worked right through that too. No luck!

so here are some outputs which I hope can help lead to clearing this matter up.

Code:

file /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/cups/lib/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper
/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/cups/lib/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper: directory

and

Code:

ldd /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/cups/lib/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper
ldd: /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/cups/lib/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper: not regular file

I see that, different to Busy Penguin, I have the

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 Dec 27 13:33 epson-escpr-wrapper

It's a directory in which I have Epson-WF-5110_Series-epson-inkjet-printer-escpr.ppd

I have increased CUPS logging verbosity as suggested and having deleted the Cups log, I've sent a single line to the printer.

Here, in two lumps, are the head and tail of that log:

I'm not sure if they can be of any value but the whole log. for a single print failure is close to 1mb

Now, seeing that the epson wrapper is not supposed to be a directory must be the source of the problem however I only use yast to install so am somewhat confused.

I do admit to putting the Epson-WF-5110_Series-epson-inkjet-printer-escpr.ppd in lots of places, as that seems to be the file that the WF52110 needs. I'll strip them out when I know more.

then restart avahi

sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon

You may also need to restart the desktop as well.

Ferrari,

Thank you very much. In my case I had two printers with almost the same name, the only difference was dash/underline and despite I removed the one that did not work under cups still they showed up not only in LibreOffice but also in a couple of apps i run under crossover (wine).
After following your tips they are gone.
Again many thanks.
